Previously, Gino had another Internet ezine called: Loud Lyrix, a forum for Internet users to share the lyrics of their favorite heavy metal songs. It lasted from March to September of 1994. Gino has been a fan of metal his whole life with his earliest memories being those of his brother blasting KISS records all the time. Since then he's grown to enjoy heavier and more extreme types of music. Gino is currently in high school for another semester, and plans on entering Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. WHO IS ADRIAN BROMLEY? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adrian Bromley is a 24 year old freelance writer for several publications in and around Toronto and throughout Canada. He does light freelance work for art magazines VENUE and MENZ, contributes work to RHiG Magazine (indie alt/rock) and is one of the main contributors to the world reknown M.E.A.T Magazine and it's new predecessor Alternative Rock Monthly (A*R*M). His musical interests range from alternative to death metal. His work for CoC has been as coordinator of the magazine (arranging interviews, product and record label contact) and along with Gino Filicetti, has done some serious time ruining his ear drums with loud aggressive death, thrash and black metal while passionately promoting the mag. His work within the metal community has been strong and continues to aid CoC and contribute countless record reviews as well as key interviews. Some interviews have been with such notable heavyweights as Fear Factory, My Dying Bride, Bathory, Type O Negative, Cathedral, Napalm Death, Neurosis, Cemetary, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, Nailbomb, Sepultura, Paradise Lost, Exit-13, Mortification, Mindrot and the list goes on. His prime goal with Chronicles of Chaos is to once again bring back the need for metal in today's music. WHO IS ALAIN M. GAUDRAULT? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alain M. Gaudrault is a longtime metal fan disgusted with the lack of media coverage given to extreme forms of music. Impressed by the content quality of the first issue of Chronicles of Chaos, he knew the editors could use an eagle eye to clean up errors, and even submit the occasional review. While typically preferring speed, death, and black metal, Alain's musical heros are Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper, two highly influential acts who helped ring in the age of extremism in music back in the early 1970s. In his late twenties, Alain has completed a Master's degree in Computer Science, is co-founder of an educational software company, and is currently working as a software developer, creating software tools for programmers. WHO IS BRIAN MELOON? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Meloon is a contributing writer for Chronicles of Chaos, with just enough spare time on his hands to add a few reviews each issue. Brian recently moved to Ithaca, NY (otherwise known as the middle of nowhere) in August, 1994 after being born and raised in Madison, WI. Currently, he attends Cornell University, studying (appropriately enough) chaotic dynamical systems. Brian's favorite kind of music is technical metal of all types. WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE ZINE? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chronicles of Chaos is electronically distributed monthly through internet email. Most issues exceed 80k so they are delivered in two parts since many of our subscribers mailboxes can not handle such a huge load of information in one message. Chronicles of Chaos consists of eight basic parts, an editorial, "Loud Letters," a 'letters to the editor' type section. "Ferocious Features," a section of feature stories with signed acts, "Chaotic Chat Sessions," a section of question and answer interviews with signed acts. "Record Revelations," record reviews of signed acts. "Independent Interrogations," a section of stories on independent bands. "New Noise," a demo review section. "Chaotic Concerts," a concert review section. "Tours of Torture," a tour listing section and "What We Have Cranked," a top five list of this month's favorite records from the staff. HOW CAN I HELP OUT WITH CHRONICLES OF CHAOS? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We are always happy to hear from our subscribers, any comments or questions you have will be read and answered and printed in the "Loud Letters" section of the following issue. Reader submissions are also welcome, what we really need is reports on local scenes... if you live in a remote part of the world, we want to hear about your metal scene. Another thing you can do is ADVERTISE! Our goal is to reach as many people in the world as possible, so every little bit of advertising helps, just spread the word around to ALL newsgroups and mailing lists. All help is greatly appreciated. DO YOU REALLY REVIEW ALL DEMOS SENT TO YOU? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this point in time we do review ALL demos sent to us, but we do not have the money to snail mail out a copy of the issue to any band that doesn't have Internet access. This is an unfortunate reality, but Chronicles of Chaos is an EZINE, so its natural habitat is the Internet. However, we greatly appreciate all demos sent to us, and we always try and review them all, but I can not see into the future, and if we start to receive unreal amounts of demos, it will be physically impossible to review them all, but we will always try our best. HOW DO I LEAVE CHRONICLES OF CHAOS? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You may leave Chronicles of Chaos at any time by sending a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE coc-ezine" in the BODY of your message to the list handler at listproc@lists.colorado.edu. Please note that this command must NOT be sent to the list address , but to the mail server which handles this mailing list. HOW DO I REPORT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reports of any and all problems should be mailed to Gino Filicetti at ginof@io.org... we greatly appreciate any help you can give us CHRONICLES OF CHAOS IS TOO BIG FOR MY MAILBOX! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chronicles of Chaos is already being split into two or three parts to make it easier on our subscriber's mailboxes, but if at any time any part of Chronicles of Chaos gets too big that it will not fit your mail quota, mail us immediately and inform us of the problem, we will split the issue for you into smaller pieces, and make a note for all subsequent issues.
