Additional notes:
Ralf Hauber, the bass-player of IR, is doing his own 'DEATH METAL underground Fanzine' for 1995, which is called 'MYSTICAL MUSIC Fanzine'.
The in german language written printzine is released once a year and runs of about 500 copies.
Thereby it's still kept in the old 'cut & paste'-styled b&w layouts, as the zines in the 90's were.
Split up in January 2012.
