A CALL TO ARMS
==============
Hail all my Brethren
This e-mail version of The Crusader has been way too long in the making, so
I decided to finish it off today, the last day
of the century. It's not
actually completed and there are no interviews, due to my dislike of doing
them I have been remarkably
slack in that department. I will be trying to
get this e-zine out quicker next time to try and catch up on my backlog.
The Scene in South Africa is a hive of activity. The last year has been the
most eventful year for a while in South Africa. The
"New Breed" compilation
CD has finally seen the light on the newest SA label "Witchdoctor Records"
(vvv@saol.com), featuring
15 of our top Metal acts, including Mjollnir,
Groinchurn, Gorelock and Morthor. July also saw the long awaited release of
Retribution Denied's posthumous CD "Songs of Soul and Psyche" as well as the
debut CD from Sacrifist entitled
"Liquid Visions" and finally we had the
release of the fourth issue of The Crusader Fanzine, SA's premier Metal
publication.
Groinchurn have buggered off overseas again to play some festivals in
Europe, with some very big name acts, there is no
stopping these people. On
the local tour circuit, nothing is happening. Gigs are small and the
support is minimal, but the latest
crop of Metal bands are getting better
and better and thus the support is sure to improve. Pretoria's (my home
town) Metal
scene is totally dead. All us Metalheads have retreated into
our own homes, forming little cliques of loyal followers. The streets
are
packed with fag Goths, and Cradle of Filth fans. These days the difference
is not that evident anymore.
Oh well, lets get on with the party. I myself am off to get really piddly,
to celebrate the new century. Don't you just hate that
''Millennium''
word?????
Check out Powerzone at www.powerzone.co.za for more info on South
African bands. We will not be stopped,
but why is SA Metal more popular
overseas than it is on our own shores?

CD REVIEWS
FLOODLAND
THE NOW AND HERE IS NEVER
N.S.M RECORDS
(0 Battle Axes)
Why do you think this band would be called Floodland? Why, because the
sound exactly like The Sisters of Mercy,
they even have a track called
'Sister of Mercy'. I'll give them one thing though, they also have elements
of The
Mission in their music. By the Gods, this music is pathetic!!!
Really commercial Goth crap. Send all hate mail to:

IMMORTAL SLAVE
FROST
(Self Released)
(6 Battle Axes)
Pretty standard half gothic, half Metal, demo CD from South Africa's
Immortal Slave. Lyrics about lost love, sadness
and other general gothic
subjects. Way soft music with female vocals occasional black type
screeching, and bad sounding
irritating acoustic guitars. If Immortal Slave
record a well financed CD, this will be music to get chicks with. Nina
often sounds like a female Ian Anderson. Actually not a bad offering but I
am so desperately anti goth at the moment, that I
can't take this seriously.

INQUISITION
KRANK
N.S.M Records
(6 Battle Axes)
I was pleasantly surprised by this CD. After seeing the ghastly cover, I
thought this was going to be some horrible industrial rubbish.
I still
don't like the packaging but the newer Obituary styled Death is definitely
not a bad thing. Can't say I would freak out trying to
get hold of this CD,
but if someone chucked it on I wouldn't complain. Modern stylings are
present in the occasional groove and
use of acoustic interludes. Then
suddenly synthesized Harpsichord makes itself known, strange but not bad.

Nuclear Blast
(100 Battle Axes)
Don't be a dumbass!!! Why are you even bothering to read this review, I
SAID IT WAS MANOWAR, Therefore you know it rules.
Go out and buy this CD
immediately (as I did), and revel in the pure majesty of the Kings of Metal.
Available everywhere.

MOTÖRHEAD
EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYONE ELSE
CMC International
(10 Battle Axes)
"We are Motörhead, and we're going to kick your ass!!!!!" What can a mere
mortal say about a band as legendary as
Motörhead? A double CD featuring 25
classics recorded in Hamburg 1998. Motörhead live has always been the way
to hear the band, and they never fail to satisfy. 25 tracks spanning
Motörhead's entire career, with standards like Ace of
Spades, Overkill and
No Class, but where are Motörhead and Rock'n'Roll (my personal favourite)?
Features like the cool
cover, tour photos and explanations by Lemmy of all
the tracks. No Metal collection is complete without it.

NEW BREED 1
A COMPILATION
Witchdoctor Records
(8 Battle Axes)
The latest South African Metal compilation is a vast improvement from the
'13...A Compilation' CD released a couple of
years back. featuring
MJOLLNIR - South African Norsecore, GROINCHURN - Grinding South Africore,
V - Strange,
slow tribal Death, DEMACRETIA - Techno tripe that must be wiped
out, CRYSTAL DAWN - Gothenburg sound,
MESADOTH - Fucking cool 80's thrash,
AZRAELLA'S SORROW - pathetic, gay, gothic Black stuff (not Metal),
GRAMLICH - pathetic, gay, gothic gay stuff (not Metal), NOCTURNAL DOMINION -
'kill someone wearing lace' type
Black Metal, restores some of my faith in
the scene, GORELOCK - Necrophiliac 'Acid Reign' thrash, my favourite
track
on the CD, RAPTURE - Rockin' Metal, strange thing to find on an underground
comp, but I like it, P.I.T.T -
Modern Death Metal, DEVIATE - Older style
Death Metal, MORTHOR - Brilliant Thrash Death, and finally
South Africa's
classic Death Metal band RETRIBUTION DENIED deliver a very good Black Metal
song? vvv@saol.com

NOISE KILLS PUNK DEAD
VARIOUS ARTISTS
Opulence! Records
(0 Battle Axes)
To this CD's defence, I must say it comes in the most amazing press kit I
have ever seen. The 'Do it yourself hurricane kit"
consists of various toys,
rocks, beach sand and various other ingredients to create a hurricane on a
small scale, included are
absolutely hilarious instructions. Unfortunately
the CD is not of equal quality. I have never understood the idea behind
"noise", can anybody really obtain pleasure from listening to 73 minutes and
10 seconds of random noises, with absolutely no
point? 59 bands, 67 tracks
with absolutely no songs or music, except for an almost lyrical I-45.

POTHOLE
FORCE-FED HATRED
WAY-COOL RECORDS
(10 BATTLE AXES)
A mighty HAIL!!! 50 minutes of pure hardcore. Fast drumming and riffing.
You'll
find that the vocals are very powerful. This CD
consist out of: Juvenile,
Hung
to Dry, Your Dying Day, Dust to Dust, Die for me Get a Life, The Park Song, I
Need Your Misery,
Illegal Creed, Intro-I Resent, People on the Highway of Lost
Emotion. There seems to be no problem in the Cape Town Metal
Scene. The
quality
of the recording is the best I've ever heard in South Africa. You can get the
lyrics on request at the band when
you order this disc. A must for all 90's
Metal
fans. Band Contact: "The Roadwork's", 10 Voortrekkerhof, Koeberg Road,

SKITSYSTEM
GRA VARLD / SVARTA TANKAR
Distortion Records
(4 Battle Axes)
This Hardcore/Punk band hail from Gothenburg Sweden. Not the place I would
imagine spawning a Hardcore band, but that
just goes to prove that you can't
use a 'place' to define a band. The music isn't bad, the Hardcore punk is
done in a
really Metal way, but no, I don't like it. Socially conscious, at
least by what I can figure out through clues as the lyrics are in
Swedish.
If music like the new Sepultura is your cup of tea, then Skitsystem are a
band you should find.

SACRAPHYX
EIGHTH DAY
(Self Released)
(6 Battle Axes)
As most of you know I've always been stuck in the past, and I'll stay that
way always. I just don't like the nineties, as as we approach
the end of the
nineties, I suppose the nineties sound will become "retro". Sacraphyx can
thus be described as retro. Displaying
proficient use of 'modern' Death
Metal will virtually no influence from the earlier incarnations of the art
of Death. This is
Sacraphyx's second CD-R demo CD, and as I don't really
know it's predecessor I can't comment on the growth of the
music. Not my
cup of tea, but certainly worth your while if you are of the new generation.

THE GREAT KAT
BLOODY VIVALDI
Blood and Guts Music
(7 Battle Axes)
Here in my sweaty palms I have the latest offering by The Great Kat, created
especially for the pervert in all of us. Clocking in at
7,5 minutes long
it's short enough to fit on a 7", which would make a brilliant media to
release this one on due to the increased
emphasis on the visual, as well as
forcing more 'participation' than what you get from a CD. Four tracks of
which two are original
'Torture Chamber' & 'Blood', they are played in Kat's
usual dogmatic style. The vocals are slightly distorted, which I don't
like. I especially like 'Blood', because of it's thrashy nature. The
version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons is my favourite showcasing
Kat's
incredible Violin technique and speed. Kat's version of Sarasate's Carmen
Fantasy is an especially powerful
portrayal of the piece. Overall Bloody
Vivaldi is well worth purchasing, provided you accept the short running
time.

--------------------------------------------------
TRIUMPHATOR
THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
Holycaust Records
(9 Battle Axes)
This could easily be described as The Great Kat doing Black Metal. 2
tracks, 11:42 minutes packaged in a brilliant,
if not simple digipack.
Convincingly evil Black style vocals with Kat style 'widly, widly, widly'
guitar (come
on you know what I mean). The current line-up features Tena as
songwriter and bassist, Morgan Hakansson (Marduk)
on guitar, Arioch (Funeral
Mist) on vocals/guitar and Fredrik Andersson (Marduk) on drums. My absolute
fascination with Marduk had little to do with my appreciation for
Triumphator. Wild, Evil and Black, there
are some more famous Swedish bands
that could learn volumes from Triumphator.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
BUILT FOR SPEED 'A MOTÖRHEAD TRIBUTE'
Victory Records
(7 Battle Axes)
Definitely a band worthy of tribute. Lemmy and cronies have made some of
the most influential Metal ever. It's also fitting
that hardcore bands pay
tribute, as Motörhead are one of the first bands that developed a hardcore
sound. Featuring bands:
Blood for Blood, Groovie Ghoulies, Integrity,
Dropkick Murphy's, Skarhead, Electric Frankenstein, Chrome Locust, Zeke,
Fahrenheit 451, Terra Firma and Speedealer. My favourite must be Blood for
Blood's version of Ace of Spades, with it's spoken
intro that reminds me of
early NYHC. I love the fact that Rock'n'Roll is covered as it's my
favourite track from Motörhead but it
seldom gets attention. Terra Firma's
version of Bomber, Sucks. Now we need a Metal tribute to Motörhead!

INTERVIEW WITH LUNATIC
(Originally featured in The Crass Menagerie)
Since their are no interviews in this issue I decided to
reprint an interview
that was done with me in November 1998 by
Jeb Branin of The Crass Menagerie.
No
one else wanted to interview me... Heh, heh.
CRASS MENAGERIE: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ZINE. WHAT DO YOU COVER, WHEN AND HOW
DO YOU PUBLISH, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT IT, ETC....
CRUSADER: The Crusader is published around three times a year or at least
whenever we can afford to do it. Our main aim
is to do our part in promoting
Metal. Metal is our religion. We have been called narrow minded, and we love
it.
We can't
stand the way certain so called "Metal" bands are bastardising the
Genre
with the use of electronic beats and samples etc.
We also intend to unite the
Metal fans as much as we can, so the world can see that doing what the
Marketing
Executives at the large record companies want you to is not the only way. Any
Metalhead who wants a copy can obtain it for
free from my address: P.O.BOX 39550, GARSFONTEIN, PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA,
0060. or
lunatic@smartnet.co.za
CRASS MENAGERIE: WHAT IS THE BEST AND WORST THING ABOUT DOING A ZINE?
CRUSADER: The nicest thing about doing a zine is all the free music and
contact with all the bands who are the true underground
and may well be the
next 'legends'. The worst thing is having to review "friends" of yours. It's
important to stay honest but it sucks
giving cool people bad reviews
CRASS MENAGERIE: HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANOTHER ZINE?
CRUSADER: No this is the first one.
CRASS MENAGERIE: HAVE YOU EVER "GOTTEN IN TROUBLE" IN ANY WAY BECAUSE OF
SOMETHING YOU'VE PUBLISHED?
CRUSADER: Not yet, but we have a lot of negative comments about our subject
matter.
CRASS MENAGERIE: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD REFUSE TO PUBLISH IN YOUR ZINE?
IF YES, IN WHAT WAYS IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM CENSORSHIP?
CRUSADER: I would refuse to publish anything that wasn't tied to Metal in one
way or another. The difference between
this and Censorship is that a 'zine is
merely the opinions of one or a group of people; I'm not going to waste my
money
and time in promoting something that I don't believe in.
CRASS MENAGERIE: DOES SOUTH AFRICA SUPPORT INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING? DO
YOU EVER HIDE THE FACT YOU DO A ZINE?
CRUSADER: South Africa has very little support; we get most of our support
from overseas. I have never been in the situation
where I would have needed to
hide the fact that I do a 'zine. I don't think that I would ever hide it.
CRASS MENAGERIE: LAST QUESTION..... IF YOU COULD DO AND PRINT AN INTERVIEW
WITH ANYONE WHO HAS EVER LIVED, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
CRUSADER: Not one specific person, anyone who has stayed true to Metal.
Metallisux
are an example of people
that should be shot, while an interview with a band
like
Manowar would make me proud, 15 years since their
first CD and they still
rule.

DEMO REVIEWS
DESTRUKTOR
THE HOLY TRINITY... DENIED
(9 Battle Axes)
This tape restored my faith in extreme Metal. I was becoming very
anti-extreme, as I was just getting too much stuff that
sounded the same.
The main draw card this tape has is the absolutely vicious vocals, Glenn must
be coughing
out blood mixed with most of his internal organs after a gig.
The music is something in the line of Black Metal,
but that in no way means
it sounds anything like the fag/gothic crap we have to put up with these
days.

TRIUMPHING TRUE METAL
(10 Battle Axes)
BE STILL MY RAGING HORMONES!!!!! Shit, this is amazing. I know that Janet
doesn't do vocals for TTD anymore, but
the combination of her voice and this
music is truly something to behold. Epic Metal with all the trimmings,
done really
professionally, but it's the female vocals that really do it for
me. The amount emotion in her vocals makes the triumphing
feel of this
recording even more amazing. If this is ever re-released on CD, I'll pay
anything for it, even though it only has two
songs. HAIL Twisted Tower

GORGE
PATHLESS AND AWKWARD ON THE STAIRS REVERSE
Independent
(7 Battle Axes)
You can't call this anything else but a demo, from a band who sadly aren't
with us anymore (RIP). 4 tracks of guttural Death
Metal, 2 originals, a
cover of The Misfits and a cover of Sick of it All, doesn't sound anything
like Punk to me. There are no
labels on the record, so I don't even know
which are the covers and which are the originals. There is definitely
something
to be said about underground releases like this, they possess a
extremely nostalgic charm for me and I will always
enjoy and promote them.

GROINCHURN / HAEMORRAGE
I DON'T THINK SO / SURGERY FOR THE DEAD
Morbid Records
(9 Battle Axes)
A new GROINCHURN release always sparks my interest, and when that release
finally features a studio recording of their
brilliant Stayin' Alive cover,
you know it must be good. 3 tracks with pretty normal Groinchurn samples to
introduce
the songs. All three songs are only available on this release.
South African Grindcore!!!!! Haemorrage supply their
normal brand of
gurgling Death Metal with two tracks of their CD release Anatomical Inferno
and a
General Surgery cover. I'm very familiar with Haemorrage's previous
material, and this release builds well on
previous triumphs. It's good to
hear bands that are influenced by the early classics from Carcass.
Recommended.

HAEMORRAGE / INGROWING
GORE ERREALA / CREATION OF ANOTHER FUTURE
Copremesis Records / Shindy Productions
(7 Battle Axes)
Another brilliant offering from Haemorrage, seems to be a lot in this issue.
The vocals are lot more 'shrieked' than usual but
still their brand of
gurgling Death Metal shines through. Contains one previously unreleased
track, recorded for this EP
'Putrefaction (I still remind)' and two other
tracks. Ingrowing's contribution to this haven for sickness is just as deep
and menacing as their particular brand of Death always is. Pure grinding
Death, but with strange guitar parts in the
background. Two tracks taken
off their upcoming Cyberspace CD and a cover of Anal Cunt's 'Radio Hit'.
Very true to AC's sound.

SCENE REPORT
Here we have a Metal Scene report by one of my fine Friends Tony aka Dobson.
It was a fine night out and much Metal & Beer was had by all.
CUERVO GOLD METALANIUM
CARFAX JOHANNESBURG
23 OCTOBER 1999
Well, what can I say. The Lunatic from Crusader Magazine contacted me to tell
me about this gig. Had he not, I would not have
known. This must be the most
under
publicized concert of 1999. Once I knew about it, I kept my eyes and ears
open,
but saw no posters and heard nothing on the radio. Anyway, enough complaining.
Grimm and myself got off to a late start from Pretoria. No problem, we had
some
beer in the car and I had checked the map
out. I had been warned that everyone
gets lost in Newtown and we did. Luck we had some beer with us. So, we ended
up
rocking up a bit later than expected, just in time to see the last two songs
of Decay Into Light.
I can’t comment too much on this band as we did not see the full set and I was
too busy scoping the bar out to really check
them out. Maybe next time. Hollow
Point was up after the break, so we checked the Carfax place out. Nice enough.
WAR records
was there flogging CD’s, Vinyl and other paraphernalia of local
and overseas bands. Picked up a Groinchurn EP for R25.
Hollow Point and Misrecord came and went. A few fans got up and head banged
a bit but both bands failed to stir the greater
masses into any action, other
than politely listening. Demencratia got up and the fans started to take
notice.
A short, powerful
set saw quite a few fans get up and bang a bit.
By this time it was approaching 7 p.m. and Sacraphyx was up. Sacraphyx would
like
to clear some misconceptions up.
Seems that people get them confused with
Sacrifist.
Can’t think how. Anyway, the band warmed up and got going. They
were quick to
invite
people up for some token stage diving. Great stuff. This band is GOOD. Fast,
furious
and heavy,
the fans went wild. Quite a few moshes erupted during their set and
in
general, people had a lot of fun. Keep it up guys.
Crystal Dawn was up next and also enjoyed quite a bit of attention from the
fans.
Although this band have a very good sound,
they seem a bit laid back in the
way they
play. Almost like it is an effort to get out there and entertain the punters.
Their
set was pretty professional though, even if they didn’t have the pull of
Sacraphyx.
Mjollnir on the other hand has a great pull. Kitted out in their leathers with
plenty
chains and nails, this band has a presence on
stage, even before they start to
play. And
boy do they play. They blasted into their set and just didn’t stop. Thor's
hammer was
present and wielded by their vocalist, much to the joy of the punters. A few
good
moshes were the result.
After the break and some more beer and talking of shit to some stand owners,
Sacrifist got on stage. This band
has been around a while and has its own
group of
loyal followers. I have seen them in the past and it seems
to me that they are
getting better all the time. Another band who is definitely going places.
Although I
didn’t get up and bang much during their set, it was still pretty good. Seemed
to me
that a lot of the
punters were saving their energy for the last band of the
night,
Groinchurn.
Ah, yes, Groinchurn. Originally formed as a two piece (I can’t remember the
name of the band that broke up),
this band has really made it, if any metal
band
can actually do that now days in SA! They have become a lot
harder and heavier
over
the years, but you can still feel their punk roots when they play. The were
great that
night. Almost everyone was up and moshing and banging and having a good time.
I am sure
that a lot of
the punters had come specifically to see them. They played a
hard and heavy
set that left everyone sweating
and smiling from ear to ear. Great stuff.
All in all, Grimm and I had a good time. I am sure that everyone there enjoyed
themselves
immensely. Just wish that
there were more punters present. Groinchurn said
that another
one should be organized for the actual millennium.
If so, I hope it is just as
good or
better and is properly publicized.
Ygg guard you

VIDEO REVIEWS
THE GREAT KAT
TORTURE CHAMBER
Thomas Public Relations
(8 Battle Axes)
Man, this intense! You should try reviewing something when you can't stop
looking at it!!! M-TV wouldn't even allow this
into their building, let
alone play it... South African TV, Ha, NEVER. I still haven't seen Cradle
of Filth's latest video, with it's
fabled blood use, but there is no way it
can be as brutally used as this. Kat goes through the motions described in
her latest 'hit single' TORTURE CHAMBER. Proficient use of Black and white
film interspersed with flashes of
colour to highlight the pain and pleasure
being experienced by her subjects. Blood, Chains & Chainsaws, Large drills
being drilled into the chest cavity, boiling water and other pleasant
aspects abound. What do I have to say in conclusion?

WICKED SCRIPTURES
SCEPTER
In the beginning there was chaos. Then there was Metal. Then there was Scepter!
Bassist/Vocalist
John Karnes first Metalized with
guitarist Todd Czepek and drummer Eric Czepek
back in 1991
under the name Nostradamus. The band lasted for only six months
and all that
came from this
union was a four song rehearsal demo. Nothing was released.
Todd and John joined forces again in 1993 with the goal of forming a band that
would finally
satisfy their over-the-top
Metal needs. Thus, in the spring of 1994, Scepter
was born. Armed
with lethal new material, along with drummer
Dave Gipson, Scepter entered the
studio in the
Winter of 1994. The result: Up Thy Ass, the four assault
cassette E.P that
propelled Scepter
into the worldwide Metal arena. Original Nostradamus drummer,
Eric, returned
in early 1995 and
the three went to work immediately.
Lightning strikes twice as Scepter unleashes their new high-voltage release
METAL SUPREMACY,
featuring four
electrifying songs that are sure to fry your brain! Metal
oppression ends today!
So-called "authority"
figures can fuck off and die! Scepter raises their fists
high, calling on
Metalheads throughout the globe
to rally together under the banner of pure
fucking Metal! Only
together can we wipe out the assholes and
wimps who get in our way!
"United by Metal we'll rule the world, it is our destiny," so it says in
Scepter's classic
anthem "Feel the Steel". Scepter
feels that labelling themselves as just pure
"Thrash",
"death", "black", etc... would be inaccurate as they have been influenced
by
all those styles
as well as many 70's and 80's hard rock/Heavy Metal bands. Simply METAL will
suffice for
Scepter!
So remember, there's only two kinds of people on this planet: Metalheads...
and everyone else!
Parents, poseurs, preachers cops and teachers back at school - BEWARE! For our
eternity of
Metal Supremacy is at hand!
Watch out for a full length album from Scepter in the new future entitled "I'm
going to hell".
It promises to be Metal of the purest sense.
The CD "Metal Supremacy" is
available from the
band at $7.00. True Metal is back.
