Update 6/15

 Hails,

Thank you to all who have purchased a copy of Enthralled In Essence zine. One month after launch I am nearly sold out of the initial run. I have maybe 10 copies left. If you've been meaning to buy an issue I'd suggest buying one sooner than later. 

If you live in the Portland, Oregon area, I dropped off a couple issues to Devout Records, a black metal focused record store in NE Portland open Fri-Sun 2pm-8pm. 

If you live on the East Coast, I highly suggest you go see Zauberei on their upcoming tour supporting Baazlvaat and Glorious Descent. Zauberei will have a limited amount of issues of the zine on their merch table. 

Interviews for Issue 2 of the EiE are being secured. I'm hoping this sophomore issue will be ready by Spring 2026. 

Cheers, 

SF

First Issue out this week.

 Hails,

The inaugural issue of Enthralled In Essence zine is now available to order. Issue I features interviews with: Katabasilisk, Lionoka, Ukhu Pacha, Shataan, Heáfodbán, Nightfall Dissension, Kneipegeist, Moray, Goatcorpse, Occult Blood, Zauberei, and Ustalost

There is no online shop for the zine, so to order a copy please email me at: enthralledinessencezine [at] gmail [dot] com. 

Zines will cost $13 USD shipped within the USA. If you are an international customer looking to buy a copy please email me for a quote. 

If you live in Portland, OR, local pick-up can be arranged. Email within to do so.

The zine will be distributed to a few bands, and labels, and shops as well. Stay tuned for information on that soon. 

Regards,

-SF

P.S. a few updates regarding some bands included in zine.

Kneipegeist released a new EP, Bocage and Werewolfery, at the beginning of May. It is their best material yet, you would be remiss not to listen. It can be found here.

Additionally, Occult Blood is set to embark on a tour through California this June. Joining them for all dates will be Iron Firmament, with Carrion Bloom aiding in some select cities. All three bands are comrades of the zine, and I cannot recommend enough you attend if they are playing in a city near you. All three bands are among the most elite performing black metal acts on the west coast. Below is a flyer for the tour, additional info can be found via Occult Blood's instagram page. 

First Issue Almost Complete

 Hails,

Very few will read this I'm sure. No matter, the first issue of Enthralled In Essence zine is nearly ready for launch. The zine's contents are completed and scanned, now it just needs to printed and assembled. I am hoping issues will be in hand and ready to order before the end of the month

Here is a preview of the zine's cover, which reveals the bands included in this issue.

Until then,

-SF
