Release: Issue 3/97
Release is a fifty page, full sized, color cover, glossy magazine hailing from
Sweden and published entirely in Swedish. As a result this means that the
majority of the English dominant Industrial scene might as well use this
magazine for kindling. However, Release has been kind enough to grace us with
an English transcription of their product on the Internet. So hop on-line and
head to their web site for
articles on Koop, Mesh, Moby, KMFDM, EnCounter, Rammstein, Aphex Twin, Paradise
Lost, Dark Side Cowboys, Merzbow, NON, and Alan Wilder, who graces the cover
of this issue. Music reviews are plentiful, but they seem to focus on the
larger acts like KMFDM, Lard, and Foetus, with most of the smaller acts simply
lacking in presence. There is also an inordinate amount of space devoted to the
current Scandinavian synth-pop phenomena. Overall, Release is a great
magazine, unfortunately it's hard copy doesn't do me much good since I am too
clueless to read Swedish.
