: A Selection of Publications & Magazines I contributed to overs the years:
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Mørkeskye #1 (1995)
|
Mørkeskye #2 (1995)
|
Mørkeskye #3 (1996)
|
Mørkeskye #4 (1996)
|
The first four issues of my own fanzine Mørkeskye were created the classic fanzine style: interviews mostly made by snail mail, cut & paste layout with "stolen" pictures and much more enthusiasm and chaos than professional attitude.
 |
 |
 |
| Deftone #2 (1998) |
Deftone #7 (1998)
|
Deftone #8 (1999)
|
The Deftone years: the predecessor of the magazine nowadays known as Legacy. I contributed many articles
to this in the beginning quite creative publication, a.o. cover stories with Arcturus, Bathory and Emperor,
moreover countless interviews with bands from various genres like Primordial, Blood Axis,
Hagalaz Runedance, Hekate, Deep Purple and even Heather Nova.

Holterdipolter
Musik-Sammelsurium für Wagemutige (2001-2002)
|
Holterdipolter - the name already reflected the contents: an online fanzine,
created with the help of some friends, featuring everything we thought of as interesting...
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Mørkeskye #7 (2002) |
Mørkeskye #8 (2003) |
Mørkeskye #10 (2004) |
Mørkeskye #11 (2006) |
Mørkeskye the second era: No.7 became quite legendary since it featured handwritten lyrics by Secrets of the Moon, Dornenreich, Drautran, Arckanum, stunning artwork and an uncomparable approach to the nightside of nature. Among others No.8 contained an article on the pagan ideas of Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson. No.10 offered a ten pages cover story on Negura Bunget and an interview with Norwegian author Tor Age Bringsvaerd. Each of these issues featured a compilation CD with a lot of rare or so far unreleased tracks.

Sounds under the Surface #1 (2007)
|
Sounds under the Surface #2 (2007)
|
Sounds under the Surface #4 (2008)
|
A fanzine in the web 2.0 age: with Sounds under the Surface I created a follow-up of Mørkeskye which mocked
even more at stylistic borders and featured music apart from mainstream consumerism, be it new classic, jazz, folk
singer & songerwriter, and of course all shades of rock and metal. For more info go to: www.soundsurface.com

The Legacy Chronicles
Pagan Fire #1 (2007)
|
The Legacy Chronicles
Pagan Fire #2 (2009)
|
So far two issues have been released under the banner of the Legacy Chronicles,
both of them focusing on pagan / folk / viking metal, featuring many interviews and articles,
a.o. I contributed conversations with Martin Walkyier, Wardruna, Alverg and a fanzine special.

Jugendszenen.com (since 2002)
|
Analysis of the Media Production created in the Black Metal Scene (2007)
|
Journal der Jugendkulturen #13 (2008)
|
Challenging perspectives: since 2002 I contribute to jugendszenen.com, an ambitious project of the professorship for sociology at the university of Dortmund. The aim is to enable outsiders to gain authentic insight into youth scenes, so to say through they eyes and ears of the young actors. Among the many scenes portrayed, I delineated black metal and pagan metal, scenes I know from the inside for more than a decade.
(Thus I'm able to present different and more complex perspectives than the stereotypical paranoid view upon black metal, new heathendom and related topics that has become quite popular among self-confessed "anti-Fascist" scholars, journalists and activists in Germany these days.)

|
Nebelmond #3 (2006)
|
Hammerheart #3 (2009)
|
The Pagan Herald #3 (2009)
|
Although I contribute to some online magazines, I still like to help friends who invest besides their hearts' blood
and a lot of time, quite some money into printed fanzines. My personal favourite these days is without doubt
The Pagan Herald, a serious magazine focusing really deep on pagan music and ideas.
