Welcome to My Last Chapter - a website dedicated to brutal musick in all its gory glory!

Sorry for the lack of updates, folks. My personal life just took a turn for the worse for a short while, which of course meant no time spent working on the zine. As of today I'm back in business and doing my best to get back on track (which among other things means answering a ton of e-mails).





No new material posted here right now, but upon my command the Belgian black/death metal outfit Emptiness wrote a diary of their tour through Europe late last year. Make sure to read all about it!



For the first time I also decided to do a "best of" list. I've had requests to do such lists in the past, but I've never been able to muster the determination to actually decided what I thought was best during a certain year, but this time I really made up my mind. I decided to only include records reviewed here on My Last Chapter, and to divide them up by genre.
So, better late then never, here we have my personal best of 2011 list:

Black metal
Fyrnask - Bluostar CD

Crustcore
Bombangrepp - Skuggan av dödens sändebud CD-R

Death metal
Cytotoxin - Plutonium heaven CD

Doom metal
Moloken - Rural CD (review not yet written)

Grindcore
Grog - Scooping the cranial insides CD

Hardcore
Moloken - Rural CD (review not yet written)

Miscellaneous
Skogen Brinner - Pundarvarning 7"

Punk rock
Sju Svåra År - Storma varje hjärta CD (review not yet written)

As some of you probably notice Moloken wins two categories, and it's their blend of sludge and hardcore that's just too damn powerful not to win both categories. I also haven't gotten around to actually write a review of the album (just the Sju Svåra År one), but this will be done asap.



And that's it for now while I get back to replying to old e-mails. More to come soon.
