MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL #311 Mar '09
Print media is dead? Long live print media! In response to the allegations that print media is on its deathbed, we decided to put together an issue of the magazine focusing on fanzine culture and its significance in the punk community. In this month’s issue we have an interview with Erick Lyle of the long-running San Francisco zine Scam, as well as, one with John Holmstrom of the legendary Punk magazine, one of the first punk zines from NYC. The artist Rich Jacobs compiled a history of skate zines, and we have an interview with Janelle Hessig of Tales of Blarg, the classic East Bay punk zine. There’s a feature about the politics and symbolism of punk flyer art, and an interview with Ryan Wells and Scott Soriano of the outsider garage zine, Z-Gun. Stuart Schrader of the Shit-Fi website discusses fanzine culture in the face of blogging, and for another perspective we have an interview with Rich of the music blog and online community Terminal Boredom. PLUS we asked numerous zine makers to make a page of MRR as if it was their own zine. All of that alongside the usual columns and the most extensive review section in punk!

MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL #310 Mar '09
The March issue, #310, is our much-anticipated annual year-end top ten edition, in which our many reviewers and contributors discuss the music that mattered

the most in 2008! It is also the first part in a series covering the debacle of health care in America, dedicated to the memory of longtime contributor and

Bay Area musician Lance Hahn. The cover art, a portrait of Lance, is a collaboration between Tim Kerr of the BIG BOYS, and renowned skate artist Rich Jacobs.

A wide range of punks contributed, on subjects ranging from getting shot in the face, to finding a lump in your breast, and not having any insurance. There

are pieces on finding out you have a terminal disease, curing a stomach condition through fermented foods, and a piece by Fat Bob of South London's own HARD

SKIN on why crusties should wash! There are pieces by punk doctors, punk nurses and nursing school drop-outs! And all the usual columns and the most

extensive review section in punk rock

INSUICIETY - The cure for the truth LP
Finally coming up with their first full-length, this multicultural band creates an ugly bastard of Black Sabbath metal, hardcore punk and sample-loaded

atmospherical noise passages. Sheer heavy riffs, punishing drums and stomach-deep bass-humming over which a tortured female voice expresses both hate and

desperation roll slowly, but unstoppable towards the overwhelmed listener. Just as Kylesa are leaving their path with their recent album, INSUICIETY are

ready to take over the crown of "heavy tribal punk"! or in other words: imagine souls at zero era neurosis meets damad...

B.SON (BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS) - s/t LP
3 songs ( about 45 minutes ) of massive doom, think khanate meets corrupted, mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN ( old lady drivers, khanate, phantomsmasher ). As much

as we love us some ultra doom, some seriously sick slowness, you know, that doooooom, that is so glacial, that the songs begin to crumble and ooze into

viscous black pools. We do. But sometimes we just want our doom to ROCK. Sounds contrary but it's been known to happen. Doom can be slow and low and still

rock. Take B.Son for example. Whose particular brand of doomic energy is drawn from bands like Harvey Milk, Karp, The Melvins, godheadSilo, more a sort of

downtuned propulsive sludge with doom elements, than pure doom. But goddamn if it isn't just as brutal and heck, doomy... Thick ropy buzzbass, pounding

destructo drums, throaty howls, grinding guitars, all lurching and swaying like some drugged and demented superrock doombeast, all filtered through a bit of

grinding screamo and some buzzed out metallic blackness. (Aquarius)

“Devastation” is the long awaited new work of this sensational combo formed about ten years ago by current and past members of well known japan bands… and finally it’ s ready to devastate your turntable!!! After a demo and some high quality splits, this is the time of a solo MLP having 5 tracks of killer Motor-Punk and believe me if I say that these Japanese veterans are offering fucking killer music release after release! Hyper-catchy riffs, harsh voice, great bass work and punkish drum mixed into various both Metal & Punk elements that make G.A.T.E.S. a band so original and unique, playing at the same time an “usual” old styled genre but standing as gold in a field of iron!!! They recall to Motorhead at a first heard, but here you can find also elements from Tank, Hammerhawk, Raven and other heavy acts together with early GBH / Venom parts charged in a more aggressive matrix with lot of great solos in the best jap-tradition!!! Out in three editions with three different cover designs done by Reverend J. Sinn (singer of Bludwulf), “Devastation” is another luxurious jewel of the obscure label High Society Satanic. The one and only “negative” point, if it can be called that, is about its bad distribution here in Europe (and probably also in the rest of the World) making this G.A.T.E.S. product another “hard-to-find” item as their previous ones… But probably it’s what they want: be an elitist band, not for everyone but for special maniacs only, giving a big kick to posers and downloaders ass around the scene!




G.A.T.E.S. is also a band into METAL PUNK DEATH SQUAD club, a movement for the fans of both Metal and Punk music around the world.

This club started in the middle of 2007 as a sort of “joke” between good guyz into the scene as MFG of G.A.T.E.S. (Japan), Reverand J. Sinn of Bludwulf (Usa, east coast), Joel of Toxic Holocaust (Usa, west coast) and Staff of Destroy record (Uk) exalting their preferred old and new bands concerning this mix of sounds, and nowadays the movement is becoming even more big week after week.
If we should give a “point of departure” of the club it was into the “Members” edition of BLUDWULF / G.A.T.E.S. 7” EP, strictly limited to 100 copies including the patch which gone to real maniacs, supporters and collectors of the movement. There was no better release to start this kind of revolution into the realm of these two so worshipped genres. A new age is coming…
Lot of bands, persons, maniacs can exchange their points of view, opinions and wathever about Metal Punk through the “myspace world”, a good meeting point for every kind of fan into that music. So other chapters of the club followed their primal instinct rising horns to Punk and Metal: Russian / Mexican / Portugese / Taiwan / South Korean chapters, Italian Gangsters section and others are coming up!
Myspace also got many posers hidden behind the monitor of their PC, but M. P. D. S. absolutely don’ t support them: you know who you are! MP3 Downloaders, whimps, false metalheads or fashion punx must stay away from this congregation. If you don’ t support records, gigs and sincere attitude believing only in appareance and gossip, well, you have no future in this world!!!
Seems strange but metalpunk movement is not the last new of today… Metal and Punk are two kind of music that travelled together for ages, with friendship and also some misunderstandings, but always together. Think to bands such as Sacrilege (Uk), Accused, English Dogs, Hellbastard, Onslaught, Mentors, Voivod, G.I.S.M., Plasmatics ecc… they ever got influences from both the styles! And it’ s spontaneous to define their sound METALPUNK!

At the end of this report MFG (Futatsugi), guitarist of G.A.T.E.S., gives to us some answers about his band and his thoughts about METAL PUNK DEATH SQUAD club / movement:

1) Hail Masayasu! First of all explain the meaning of the abbreviations in G.A.T.E.S. band name, there is something in common with the word “gates”? In which way you chosen this name?

Our official band name is G.A.T.E.S. stand for God Admires The Evil Soul.
One of my favorite bands used to sing like "crush the gates of heaven and hell”,I thought it's really cool and inspired by it. Early G.A.T.E.S or actually myself was quite into occult style and tried to represent it.


2) Your band has the perfect music mixture for a good live performance. Do you usually play shows? If yes, what kind of people is present to your concerts? More metalheads than punks or the reverse?

Other members of the band play for other bands and G.A.T.E.S is just their second band so we don't play that much. I 'd prefer make our live show special thing and I always try to concentrate on the forth coming show and raise up my attention towards it. Even if it didn't work well, I wound 't be disappointed. Different types of bands ask us to play with at their shows, from up and coming crusty hardcore bands to older experienced bands.
G.A.T.E.S is a very unique mixture of people whose musical backbones are different. That's why we have offers form different types of bands.


3) Which is the usual G.A.T.E.S. listener? In japan the metalpunk scene is united or not?

Mainly punks but many different types of people listen to our music. In Japan, you can easily get information about underground music. There' s no proper "metalpunk" scene here. People just listen to what they think cool, they don' t stick if it' s punk or metal.

4) What about your lyrics?

Better ask about it to the singer! Basically our lyrics are in japanese. I think singing in english is easier than in japanese but he sticks to sing in japanese, not english.
In a word, our lyrics are very japanese occult type thing.

5) First of your words about M.P.D.S. movement give us some info about G.A.T.E.S. future.

Destroy records (UK) just put out the vinyl version of Total Death CD. HG Fact (Japan) will put out our split 7" with a band called BURNING LEATHER from US in the near future.
Please wait and see! Don't miss them out!




…about M.P.D.S.:
if I talk about the history or my view or details, that' d be really long, sonext time.
The music genre "metalpunk" has been there for long long time and I' ve been always attracted by certain music that is now called metalpunk. I wanted to share the sympathy or whatever with a few metalpunk fans, then one day I talked to Jmmi Sinn and the idea of M.P.D.S. was popped up! It' s a big surprise that many people like the idea and support us. I appreciate it so much.
I know some people will say "drawing the line is nonsense. No borders between punk and metal. Just have fun!" But that's not what i have intended and I' m afraid this kind of attitude would kill the music, it would hurt the core, the essence of each genre. Punk is punk. Metal is metal. They are　different, but I can enjoy both! And I believe all you guys with the pride of M.P.D.S. in the heart know about it, right?
"I can't live without MOTORHEAD" or "I' m a DISCHARGE junkie". If both punks and metalheads started the conversations like that and understood each other, that' d be really great. M.P.D.S. is kind of a strategy to make it happen. It’ s not a joke but not a total serious thing, ha.
You know what i mean?
MFG / 2009.

INEPSY - No Speed Limit For Destruction LP
