Mortiis powered Z.A.S.T. fanzine reissued as hardback with extra material
How many of you knew that Mortiis aka Håvard Ellefsen had a fanzine from 1990-1992? Ellefsen has now teamed up with Cult Never Dies (who also published the Mortiis book “Secrets Of My Kingdom”) to reissue the two issues put out back in 1991 and 1992.
The reissued fanzine issues come as a hardback titled “Z.A.S.T. Zine Anthology 1990-1992” holding over 130 large format (A4) pages. For those who wonder, Z.A.S.T. stands for the delicate title of ‘Zombie Anal Sex Terror’. Total oldschool cut and paste fanzine capturing the vibe of the time.
This is the fifth book in the Underground Archives series out via Cult Never Dies and can be ordered right here.
Includes interviews with: Grave, Blood, Samael, Carcass, Beherit, Masacre, Abruptum, Mortician, Cathedral, Varathron, Sarcófago, Unleashed, Carbonized, Agothocles, Phlegathon, Old Funeral, Nocturnus, Thyabhorrent, Bolt Thrower, Shub Niggurath, Cannibal Corpse, Disembowelment, Sadistik Exekution, Necrophiliac, Revenant, Satanic Death, Baphomet, Pyathrosis, Transgressor, Disgrace, Disharmonic Orchestra, Toxodead, Pungent Stench, Cemetary, Necrofist and more plus reviews, articles and a new interview with Mortiis from 2021.
Here’s a sample of what to expect.
Support Side-Line
More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void.
