(fanzine review) OUT OF THE DARKNESS – #9

I saw that no 10 is already out, but I don´t have it and recently Neven sent me this no 9, so I read it from front to back, Out Of The Darkness zine being my personal favorite, best one in the region and one of the best fanzines I have ever read. Nice layout, everything made just the way I like it and it is in our Serbian/Croatian language, so people from other countries will have to use translator while reading. But, what is most important and best part of this zine is that every number manages to have such superb interesting material. What I found most interesting in this one are columns of course, I love reading them since I read first Heartattack zine back 25+years or so. There are couple of interviews and most interesting for me were talks with Doomtown Records people, The Truth and Kriva Istina. There is an interview with The Templars, Contra Records, Disease and bunch of cool reviews, music and books. This is THE BEST fanzine out there right now. So, go order your copy:

Vocalist Janne Keskitalo comments:
“The birth of a Misfortunate Phoenix is chaotic and violent. Like a never ending
purgatory where you are reborn to live in agony. The moments alive are filled with
psychotic visions and nightmares. And when you think you have relief from it you
re-live it ad nauseam.

To describe this song in a few words, my choices would be chaotic, disturbing,
hypnotizing and beautiful. Not a typical chorus driven single, but a single we
would release just to confuse your mind.”

Mortyfear was founded already in the late 90’s in Ostrobothnia, the rugged heart of Finland. Since then, the band has published several releases including EP’s and one album. Band’s music is a unique mix of oppressive heaviness, hooky melodies and eerie cinematic atmosphere from your worst nightmares. Few years ago Mortyfear renewed it’s line-up and started to work passionately on their second full-length album. During the recording process the band developed the recognizable Mortyfear sound to an even more chaotic and haunting direction and the outcome can be heard on the new album My Dystopia. Each song in the album is one of a kind and they all connect to a big dystopic story. Songs take you to the darkest corners of the human mind with their lyrics and soundscapes.
