DEMOLISH (80’s Metal Mag.) finally sees light of day…

Kinger 87′

Yes, after 2.5 decades I am finally getting things out there via this blog from the fine folks at WordPress.

As I dig into the DEMOLISH vaults, I will post random interviews, articles, reviews etc. Eventually I will work my way through the first two issues. It appears that blogs such as this are the new [online digital] magazines and physical print magazines are dropping like flies.

Of course [in 2009] we have Decibel and Revolver covering the new bands, but what about the 80’s scene and current 80’s revival? That’s where we step in!

Here’s the scoop:

DEMOLISH was a dedicated Rock/Metal Music fanzine that I started back in the day (late 80’s). There many people worldwide who contributed articles, submitted killer artwork, wrote reviews, attended concerts and took amazing pic’s etc. All of us worked pretty much non-stop on this project for well over a year and a half!

Are you ready for a kick-ass “blast-from-the-past”?

If so, then dig out those albums (yes — I said albums) and dust off those old cassettes, try on that old Metal jean jacket (you know — the one with no sleeves and covered with your fav. band’s patches and buttons) and hopefully you will enjoy this chunk of Metal history!

So what makes us different?

You may notice this at the end of our articles:

*In order to transport you directly back to the eighties (i.e. 87′ – 89′ to be exact) we will continue to keep the language in the posts “present tense” even though this is 2016. None of these articles, interviews and reviews have ever been published! I plan to keep them in their original form.

I thought this would be way cooler than always saying “back in the day” or “this is the way it was back when…” over & over ad nauseam.

We will also try to track down the original artist that was featured for a current update and post current links where possible. If you know, or have a way to contact any of these bands, then by all means please forward our links and have them get back in touch with us as we would love to hear from them!

* If you stumbled across this site and were a past contributor in any way shape or form, then this site is for you that you so rightfully deserve. Please do get in touch via the contact form.

Thanks again and enjoy the site!

  4. Good to see you here. Adding you to my list – hey, let’s see some RAZOR!

  5. Thanks for the props and the link add.

    RAZOR huh? Ahhhhhh one of Canada’s finest!
    I am pretty sure there is an article and or at least an album review in the vaults somewhere! 😉

    I am down with “Custom Killing” from 1987 and “Violent Restitution” from 1988. I am afraid I lost track after that!

    Other Canadian favorites from that era: Sacrifice, Infernal Majesty, Voivod & Annihilator & everyone knows (i think) the (in)famous: ANVIL, Exciter, Piledriver and DBC!

    Peace,
