Hey all,

I remembered I had an account over here so thought I might as well make a post about the zine/magazine I run. I say zine/magazine because it's completely independent, DIY and all that, but just has the appearance more of a magazine - hope that makes sense.

Anyway, we've recently released our 6th issue, which features a whole load of news interviews, reviews, columns, tour diary, features + much more in 64 jam-packed pages. We cover bascially everything metal, and although some of the stuff featured might not be to all of you tastes there is sure to be some stuff in there for everyone.

If anyone here has already heard of us/got a copy please post any thoughts below and anyone who'd like to get a copy and support us it costs £2, and can be easily bought through our website http://www.emptyplayground.co.uk or myspace http://www.myspace.com/musictrades using paypal or alternatively let me know if you'd like to get a copy by sending a cheque, cash or postal order.

Here are a few preview pages from the issue to give you a better idea of what we do and the look of it:













There's also some free downloads with the issue (10 songs) - there's a password to a secret part of our site to download them, from both big and small bands.

Well I hope you don't mind this post, and thanks to anyone who orders/has ordered a copy - we really appriciate the support. Feel free to get in touch/post below if you have any questions, want to write for us or anything like that.

Many thanks,
Ben

Doesn't look gay at all.

back issues too?

I see you've got Amenti on the cover there - I bet they lied about everything.

I still have some copies of issue 5 about but we've completely sold out of all the other 4 issues (back when we were black & white and on newspaper). Sorry about that but if you'd like a copy of issue 5 just give me a shout and I'll sort it no problem.

Cheers
Ben

There's one way to find out haha, but nah what's this all about? Am I missing something here?

We are just having a good old bit of banter. I will give it a look over tomorrow like.

Well, they screwed up the Destruction tour, the promoter was in Amenti, and basically fucked everyone off with cancellations and such. Plus they're rubbish, so..

To top it off, they lied about it all afterwards.

You might want to get some better bands to interview, by the way. Unless, of course, you really want to target the slanty-fringed element.
