This is a brilliant release by the diehard Metal cult, Pentacle! A
seven song album that includes three new tracks, one demo re-make, two
covers plus one song taken from their out of print split 10" with Germany's

Ones! Thrashing speeds and heaviness, all hail "Ancient Death"!!!

The music from Chris Korda's infamous "I Like to Watch" video will
finally be released on vinyl, just in time for the one-year anniversary
of 9-11. The video combines 9-11 media coverage with professional
sports and hard-core pornography. More than 250,000 people have
downloaded the video since it first appeared on the Church of Euthanasia
web site, on December 11 of last year.
The EP will be released on Null Records in Berlin, and distributed by
Possible Music, also in Berlin. In addition to the original video mix,
the 12" will include house remixes by Chris Korda, Richard Bartz, and
Paul Davis, plus an industrial remix by Cannibal Whore Feast. The
sleeve will feature color images from the video, such as the WTC being
licked by a giant tongue.
Fans of the video have been waiting impatiently for vinyl, but finding a
label with the balls to release "I Like to Watch" was no easy task.
Several labels agreed to do it, and then changed their minds later,
wasting valuable time. Another label expressed interest, but insisted
on a plain black cover, which would have sent the wrong message, says
Korda: "I'm not ashamed of being sexually aroused by 9-11, I'm ashamed
of being American. People are saluting the flag and praying to Jesus
while we incinerate what's left of the earth, and I'm sick of it."

EARACHE RECORDS NEW SIGNING - CULT OF LUNA
Earache Records is proud to announce the latest addition to its family--
apocalyptic noisecore outfit CULT OF LUNA. The band have signed a multi-album
worldwide recording deal and have wasted no time entering the studio to begin
work on their debut Earache release.
CULT OF LUNA established themselves with the release of their self-titled
debut album on the Rage of Achilles label in 2001, gaining excellent reviews
both in Europe and the US. This was followed by a 7" on Hydrahead earlier
this year. The bands epic, contrasting style alternates between staggering
heaviness and bleak sonic cavities that elevates the listener to momentous
highs and then drops them to unfathomable lows.
The band are currently holed up in Tonteknik Studios in Sweden, used by such
bands as Refused, Messhuggah, Breach and The Hives. The recording of the new
album will be completed by the end of August. Rumours of some debut UK shows
towards the end of the year should be confirmed in the
coming weeks.

Communique: ELF action in Kentucky against Wal-Mart
________________________________________________
July 15, 2002
Received from anonymous sender July 8th, 2002:
In the darkness of July 8th, the Earth Liberation Front traveled through the
dense forest behind the recently built Fern Creek Wal-Mart Supercenter in
Louisville, Kentucky. Liberators climbed up a hillside and proceeded to slash
the tires of a construction equipment trailer. Messages such as "Stop Sprawl"
and "Respect" were painted on the wall of the Wal-Mart and
a construction trailer in the parking lot. The locks on the main construction
trailer were glued and four windows were smashed out.
This action is a protest against the sprawl which seeks to expand its
treacherous grip beyond the Gene Snyder Freeway and into the outer limits of
Louisville--seeking a neverending expansion of strip shopping centers. In the
process, beautiful areas of forest and streams are paved over to make way for
another multinational chain that profits from the
destruction of the earth, animals, and workers.
The ELF is only beginning in the Kentuckiana region. As more wilderness and
farmland areas are paved under and precious pieces of earth sold for the profit
of a few, more actions are being planned.
We will not stop until the developers and oligarchs do.
With love and hope,
ELF

Infernal War
The newest release of DARK BLAZE STRONGHOLD is mini-album of INFERNAL WAR "Infernal SS". The fact that part of the members play in HONOR, as well as participation in "The day of the Rope" comp. brought them relatively large popularity on Polish scene, however the main attack has just come. Above mentioned CD contains 6 original tracks (plus cover), which destroy most contemporary releases. The music is one of the most aggressive, fastest and best produced since many years.

Hohenstaufen Recs is a young french label which is dedicated to Black Metal
art. Far away from the big commercial bands, we think that BM is more than a
simple music for fun but a veritable counter-culture with all caracteristics
of a new generation.
Battlehorns is our first band. It’s a french Black Metal band, which
plays in the vein of early Norway Black Metal bands. Its sound typically
raw, powerful and unholy. Dealing with Satanism and Nihilist doctrines, this
band should be in the future, a new french black metal act beyond the
extreme. You can contact Battlehorns by email or postal address for any
informations or interviews, concerts…etc…
The Battlehorns album is not a new stuff, you can find a re-released of the
third demos of BH, about more than 40 minutes of intense nihilist black
metal. Also, for the respect of the Underground scene, this CD is strictly
limited to 500 copies. So, contact us fast for this release.
CD is available for 12 E for Europe (w/P&P) or 13 $ for the rest of the
world (w/P&P). Also, we are looking for labels, underground distro
etc… For spread the name of BH… Or other deals. So, ask us for
our wholesales prices, traders are welcome but write first for our
conditions.
Our next production should be another french black metal band and should be
out in some months…
Band : Battlehorns
Country : France
Album : Battlehorns
Label : Hohenstaufen Records
Format : CD
Strictely Limited to 500 copies.
Release Date : Out Now !
Webzines and Fanzines : get in touch with us for promo package !!
Biography :
BattleHorns took shape in early 1997 under the impulsion of Krig and Grondr
right after the split with another band in which they were already former
members.
The band is originally a duet and all compositions/lyriks are done both by
Grondr and Krig; nevertheless a permanent bass player (E.N.H.) was added in
2000 and the band often uses session members for gigs/reharsals.
BattleHorns' original aim is to play raw black metal with early 90's
traditionnal influences; bands like Dodheimsgard/Satyricon/Manes/Thorns and
Zyklon B should be quoted here... The quest is simply to use these roots to
create something personnal on their own without wasting themselves in
nowadays neo BM acts.

Fresh COMPOS MENTIS interview available at
http://www.firebox.fi/?page=interviews
You were suppose to be in studio on last weekend, did
everything went right?
Yeah, we got an offer from a guy who is learning to
produce, he wanted to try recording some metal, since
it's his favourite genre. The offer was something like
this: Could you spare a weekend to record some of your
material, - for free? Apparently he'd tried some
demobands first, but for some odd reason they said no.
This seems quite similar to people turning your offer
down because it's "Finnish only".
We haven't received the final mix yet but the sound
quality of the rough mix is already better than our
first demo "Vulturous", which we actually paid to record!
The purpose of this recording session was primarily to
get some studio experience (you can never have too much
of that) and secondarily to hear some of our new material
on cd. Then we can listen to the tracks and find out if
there's anything we wish to change. - Well the lyrics will
be, since we haven't written them yet, so it's just Jesper
(vocal) screaming about him being the best, coolest, most
attractive and the rest of the band members being stupid
and smelling funny.
Beside from those goals we also had another and far more
serious one: To become extremely drunk! And yeah,
everything went right, we recorded (read: partied) till
9 am and the quality of the recording exceeded all
expectations.

The sequence of events leading to the shows was the sad news last
year that
ex member and friend, Clive Burr, revealed he was suffering Multiple
Sclerosis while being interviewed for a documentary about their
legendary
'Number Of The Beast' album.
"Iron Maiden have got together from around the world and re-arranged their
personal schedules to help ex-drummer and band mate Clive Burr. The band were
to have taken a creative break following the huge worldwide success of their
last album and Brave New World tour until preparation of their next studio
album, due for release in 2003. "

A BACKHANDED COMMENT ON BLACK METAL:
Today's persona of great note is the Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar,
and writer Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC), Rome's greatest orator.
Cicero was born into a wealthy family that provided him an extensive
education, principally in Greek schools. After military service under
Pompeius Strabo (the father of Pompey), he made his first appearance in the
courts as the defender of Quinctius. The following year his brilliant
defense of Sextus Roscius against a fabricated charge of parricide
established his reputation at the bar. His public career began when he was
made quaestor (financial administrator) in western Sicily. His later career
included appointments as aedile, consul, praetor, and governor of Asia. He
served as Pompey's legate in Sicily. Although Cicero served as legate on
Julius Caesar's staff during the second invasion of Britain, he later sided
with Pompey against Caesar in the civil war that followed the breakdown of
the first triumvirate. He was pardoned by Caesar, but was later murdered on
orders of Anthony and Octavius during the unrest following Caesar's
assassination.
Cicero's writings include books of rhetoric, orations, philosophical
essays, political treatises, and letters. Few men in history have provided
a body of writing so richly revealing about the literary and intellectual
interests, as well as the political and social events, of an age. Oratory
was the prevailing type of literature in his time, and Cicero was its
supreme master.
One unfortunate after-effect of the massive influence Cicero had on
Latin prose style came from its slavish imitation by most writers in the
later Middle Ages. A stringent and almost mechanical insistence on writing
in finished Ciceronian Latin gradually turned Latin into a dead language.
As a result "Ciceronianism" became a synonym for all that is most barren
and artificial in prose style. The writings of Cicero himself, however, are
not deserving of such criticism.
