THE MOULD MAG CRONICLES - BOOK RELEASE UPDATE!!!
This is the final update regarding the long-awaited release of The Mould Mag Chronicles.
After a long delay, we can finally announce that the book is in its final stages of production and we´ll start shipping all orders during middle of April.
To those who have been waiting patiently, we would like to offer our deepest apologies and our sincere gratitude. 2024 and 2025 have been quite difficult years for several reasons, but we are finally moving in the right direction again.
About the book: A short-lived yet classic fanzine, Mould released its first issue in 1990, and featured among its pages interviews with Entombed, Grave, Necrophobic, Sweden’s Grotesque, and Finland’s Abhorrence among others–a veritable time capsule of this pioneering era of extreme metal. Helmed by Karlsson–who was drumming for Sweden’s Suffer at the time and would go on to have a prolific drumming career, which continues to this day, for the likes of In Aeternum, Nominon, and Destroyer666 among many others – Mould would continue for three more issues over the next few years, featuring in its pages the likes of Bolt Thrower, Dissection, Cynic, Deicide, Mortician, Vital Remains, Sadus, Macabre, Nocturnus, Disembowelment, Convulse, Deceased, Sweden’s Merciless, America’s Baphomet, and Rottrevore among many, MANY others as well as hundreds upon HUNDREDS of reviews. A crucial document of the burgeoning death metal movement, Mould was part of the lifeline – namely, fanzines and tape trading – that would help spread this movement and its influence worldwide, and this book collects all four issues in their entirety. Also included are recollections of the era by the author himself as well as members of Grave, Entombed, Sweden’s Toxaemia, and other members of the early Scandinavian death metal scene.
Completing the era-authentic documentation is a two-song 7” featuring previously unreleased demo recordings from Sweden’s cult CREMATORY only available in the first 300 copies of the book.
Mould Mag book, written by Perra Karlsson and edited by Janne Stark.
