I decided to post another 'zine I scanned on a whim at work not too long ago. Mortal was a Finnish 'zine and distro which specialized in death metal and was active in the mid/late 90's. I ordered two issues of the 'zine around 1999 I think and here is the first of them and second issue overall.

At 32 pages it is nice and compact read though being pretty much all about death metal it might prove a bit boring if you're not into the genre/bands featured. Almost half of the 'zine is made up of reviews which are a bit more varied than the main content and pretty well written (especially compared to crap like SFP's reviews). Simple and readable lay-out. Nice if not very exciting death metal 'zine, not much else to add. Give it a try.

I have the Absu "Infinite and Profane Thrones" demo in MP3, BUT it's missing 1 song.

@vaalkoth:

I should have actually thought about asking from you earlier! Which one is it missing? I'm extremely keen on hearing it, yet I hate it when something is missing. But definitely one track missing is better than not hearing it at all!

How many song that demo contains? I have same demo with ten tracks?

@Grev:

You do? M.A. (and the cover scan there) says it has ten so your copy should be complete! Was it on your list because I don't remember seeing it?

Velkaarn.
Yes, I have it, but the length is different that MA says... I don't know is that the same one?

Well, about my archives... It's kind of mysterious thing ;) I have that Absu demo on mp3 rip and list that you have contains only mc-tapes

I'm trying to complete my whole collection, but it takes damn time and my PC is still "Fuck off" mode :(

@Grev:

Oh I see! Well that does explain it. :) Can you send me that? I should be able to determine whether it is it or not.

GREV kirjoitti...

Velkaarn:
Yes, I'll send that demo asap

Hi guys. Did you determine whether this was indeed the complete Infinite and Profane Thrones demo? I would be extremely interested in hearing it, and would be much obliged if you could contact me, falchenr _AT_ gmail.com

@falchenr:

All the songs seem way too short so I'm really thinking it is incomplete, unfortunately.

Now that you mentioned it, I should give it another more careful go and see if the songs were even correctly titled/cut in the first place.
