EDITORIAL STATEMENT
“Let’s get off on the right foot with a very happy New Year wish to you all, and may 2006 be a year that brings with it an abundance of crushingly good new releases! Judging by what’s already on the horizon, it’s looking like anything but a sparse year ahead...
As if the 2005 announcements of not just Emperor, but also the near-mythical Celtic Frost taking to the stage later on this year wasn’t enough in itself to have sent the extreme music world into a crazed frenzy - with cheap flight ‘panic-buying’ that’s surely causing easyJet’s site to crash left right and centre; the start of 2006, we can reveal, will play host to an entire barrage of heavyweight releases. If Christmas didn’t leave you skint and busking for your breakfast, expect to feel a very large hole burning in your pocket throughout the first part of this fine new year - and don’t expect it to get any smaller because before you know it, it’ll be summer and you’ll be elbowing your way to the front of that merchandise queue for one of every variation of t-shirt you can get your mud encrusted fingers on.
But enough of that. This January/February edition of Zero Tolerance (which is indeed affordable even after a heavy Christmas - and a necessary purchase some would say), isn’t without its coups. Okay, we might not yet have engineered an edition that can actually play you music as you turn the pages (with a dancing cardboard pop-up feature in the centre), but it’s about as close to it as you can get without being ridiculous.
For one; our humble, axe-wielding scribe Alex de Moller, made an eleventh hour deadline dash to Norway’s capital, under strict orders to not, under any circumstances, sleep until he was able to turn in a magnificently written account of his mini-adventure. All this with just a day’s grace before files were due to arrive at our ever suffering printers. “But why would he put himself under such pressure?â€
