Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Seems to be an exclusive Eldritch interview in it too.
From the makers of Classic Rock and Metal Hammer comes a brand new publication: The Cure & The Story Of The Alternative 80s.
This one-off magazine includes exclusive new interviews with Sisters Of Mercy, Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, The m*****n, Love And Rockets, Killing Joke and Fields Of The Nephilim.
Plus – features on The Cure, The Cult, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Damned and an article on the new/metal goth – including Marilyn Manson, HIM, Cradle Of Filth, Nightwish, Wednesday 13, White Zombie, Tiamat and Type O Negative.
Also – reviews of the songs and albums that defined the era and the sound.
The Cure & The Story Of The Alternative 80s goes on sale on August 17.

Very interesting, only thing is they don't take PayPal, AFAICS ...
I see that the "free" CD is called "Black planet" - very original.
Very strange that there is no mention of the seemingly taboo G-word in any of the pre-publicity. Still, despite my cynicism I'll be first in the queue at WH Smiths in a fortnight. "Dominion" ( ) has shown that there's definitely a gap in the market for a publication in English covering the darkside, so hopefully it'll shift a few copies.
That Classic Rock editor seems to be quite into the better goff rock stuff. It was them that had that Eldritch interview a while ago in their mag and haven't they done something similar a few years ago?
It will probably take a few weeks longer for it reach Belgian shops, but then I will get me one...

Make that "just a really expensive magazine". Not sure many of the regular readership of either "Classic Rock" or "Metal Hammer", the producers of the 'zine will be tempted to buy it.

Pre-ordered my copy, even though, ffs, I certainly can't afford it. Ah, well, once a dodgy g0th, always a dodgy g0th, innit. I've been in denial for far too long (I attempted a 1970s hippie revival on a couple of occasions...both of which lasted a full 5 minutes), and really ought to just stfu and joyfully embrace the heavy-black-eyelinered foolishness in all its (former) glory. Muahahaha!
pamphlet....there can't be that much in it ......how much new stuff could possible be written (apart from "new" interviews ....new as in "we play new songs")
