Waylander - Reawakening Pride one lost.
Metal Ireland Magazine compilation CDs

[Eoin McLove]

Metalworks! I don't think my copies (were there two?) survived... maybe they are back in Ireland.

Metalworks! I don't think my copies (were there two?) survived... maybe they are back in Ireland.

I only got the 1 issue, they were selling subscriptions at the time  but it was at the tail end of print magazine popularity so never was going to be financially secure. 

[Eoin McLove]

It wasn't eye catching either. The name sucked, the cover was bland and yeah, the internet was on the rise making it an uphill struggle. I think if they had a better graphic designer and maybe more interesting and unique cover artists they could have run for a few years. It was hard to get excited by the publication beyond supporting the local scene.

Never got my hands on a copy of it, but. I did pick up the CD in a trade at some stage. Must dug it out again for a spin.

[Pagan Saviour]

Took out a subscription but pretty sure I only got two issues. To be fair it was feckin rammed with reviews and interviews but it was just too slow to come out.

[The Great Cull]

Metalworks! I don't think my copies (were there two?) survived... maybe they are back in Ireland.

Thought there were more issues but could be wrong. I know I have one somewhere in with all my old magazines. It wasn't great in all fairness.

On an enjoyable revisit to the A Perfect Circle albums the last few days.

[Eoin McLove]

Perhaps if the lads stick at it for a few more issues the quality would have improved. In not having a go at anyone for it by the way. I think fair fucks to them for giving it a go at all. Not an easy thing to do.

[Paul keohane]

I remember giving (a very drunk Fart) money for a subscription in Bruxelles, about 2 minutes later he fell into a table full of drinks!.My subscription paid for that round id say!

I still give Mer De Noms a regular airing. Great album.

[Thorn]

Still got a heap of promos that Fart sent me to review, think I spent months at them and whatever issue that was never saw the light of day. Tough gig starting a zine during the burgeoning internet era as someone mentioned.

Warning - watching from a distance

I have to spare this album so as not to dilute its visceral power. It is probably the most engaging album I've ever heard. The interplay between lyrics/vocals and instrumentation is as crushingly potent today as when I first heard it back in the late 2000's. I googled up Warning Facebook and a recent post on there says there will be a series of 20th anniversary WFAD gigs in 2026. Hopefully some of the old doom stalwarts come out of retirement and arrange a gig for here.

Reverend Bizarre - Slice of Doom boxset.

I'm on a top tier, champions league night of doom. Savage band. Flawless career. Never put a foot wrong in my opinion.
