I was told by my friend Emil that there is another great physical fanzine from our scene worth reading. Virus is a fanzine done by Batko, the drummer for Disbaja, who lives in Zagreb and also organizes gigs there. First thing is how this zine is beautifully done. Really, from front cover across the whole zine, all black, with great layout and easy to read. When I say read, there are tons of material to read in there. I love how Batko mixes personal and political into one undivided whole, with also great dose of sarcasm and black humor thrown in there. There are columns, among them touching column done by Puljko from Namet, about his fight with leukemia and I was so struck when I read that one. Really, health is the most important thing we must hold onto. All other shit that seems hard and fucked up is nothing compared to health and heavy diseases. Also, there are interesting interviews with Aligrindtor, Doomtown Records, Smrt Razuma and Celetoids, also Left To Starve which was most interesting to read. Couple of reviews, soundtrack for the end of the world composed of radio friendly hits. I think which one of those would be mine soundtrack for apocalypse, superb gig reports and also columns about life in quarantine, dealing with it, dealing with state oppression, thoughts about freedom, love, capitalism. Also, an interesting piece done by Ivan, guitarist of Disbaja, about punks having a kid or kids. I read this zine in one afternoon, how great this one is. I havent read something so good since Fejer˙s Mentalna Smrt zines. But, this one left me hungry for more. Can not wait for new issue. Order your copy at:
