"our destination is written in bones"
In the eighties, in those dark days before the internet, metal fans relied on a vast underground network of fanzines to get information on up and coming bands. Many of these "zines" were small xeroxed pamphlets and had a circulation of no more than a couple of hundred, but some of the zines rivaled mainstream rock magazines with professional layout, photography, and printing. In addition Great Britain's Kerrang! and Metal Forces provided a welcome alternative to the likes of Hit Parader and Circus. This is a small sample of the zines that featured GAMMACIDE. For some of the scans, I've included the entire page so you can check out what other bands were being featured around the same time.
