MYSTIFICATION Zine Issue #1: “Primitive Futurity” Release Date: June/July (2021) Spirit Coffin Publishing Presents… [TOMB-03] Unavailable in digitally for roughly four years, here is the digital version of our underground heavy music magazine’s inaugural issue. The “Primitive Futurity” theme centers around our naturally broken path to meaning, the forced duality of our times, and views cataclysm as a dire mutation of perspective. Apathy is the true plague of future mankind, we can only offer an escape for those who would resist the temptation of meaninglessness. Interviews generally aim to reveal artists with modern purpose and ancient ethos which may prove inspiring, or damning. Interviews with: RAPTURE (GRC), SIDEREAN, GHASTLY, OMEGAVORTEX, MOLTEN CHAINS, CHAINSWORD, UNIVERALLY ESTRANGED, HOLY DEATH (U.S.), FEED THEM DEATH, INCINERATE (BEL). Photography by ΓΖ, Artwork by Jesus M.G., Logo(s) by Jason Roberts. The e-mail address provided by PayPal will be the destination for the digital item. It may take up to 8 hours for the file to arrive, each one is sent by me personally.

MYSTIFICATION Zine Issue #2: “Altered Visions” Release Date: January (2024) Spirit Coffin Publishing Presents… [TOMB-07] The goal of this new future for the zine is a retort against the din of lost souls. I view this undertaking as an attempt to regain an aura of underground intensity, achieving a level of appreciation for heavy music which not only allows the unknown to exist but pursues the earnest vision of the artist through serious inquiry. Also, riffs, when possible. Interviews with: SOVEREIGN (NOR), COMMAND (SWE), DIPYGUS, BOARHAMMER.

MYSTIFICATION Zine Issue #3: “Uttering Nothingness” Release Date: February (2024) Spirit Coffin Publishing Presents… [TOMB-09] In the spirit of challenging myself with an ambitious undertaking upon return I’d attempted a monthly release schedule for the zine. This’d meant slimming down the contents and creating most of my own artwork for the zine. At the very least some of the layout was improved. Interviews with: STYGIAN CROWN, HASTURIAN VIGIL. Hail to: Savage Steel ‘Do or Die’ (1988) All artwork by J.M. Logo(s) by Jason Roberts. The e-mail address provided by PayPal will be the destination for the digital item.

MYSTIFICATION Zine Issue #4: “Grotesque Contrivances” Release Date: March (2024) Spirit Coffin Publishing Presents… [TOMB-20] At this point I’d been focusing so much on daily painting/drawing sessions and such that I’d delayed most everything else. Thankfully Theophonos came through since several others promised an interview and never responded! Interview with THEOPHONOS. Melodic black metal (best of) An Exhaustive Study Pts.

MYSTIFICATION Zine Issue #6: “Illusory Projections” Release Date: May/June (2024) Spirit Coffin Publishing Presents… [TOMB-22] After some months of issues with interview responses I’d decided to take a hiatus and rethink the monthly focus of the zine. Thankfully Molten were extremely cool and were great via this interview, there wouldn’t have been an issue otherwise. At that point I shut down the Patreon campaign and decided to take my time devising a higher quality format in the future and doing away with the month issue idea. I stand by the quality of issues 2-6 though I learned I could do much better taking my time. Interviews with: MOLTEN (United States). All artwork by J.M. Logo(s) by Jason Roberts.

MYSTIFICATION Zine Issue #7: “Envenomed Delirium” Release Date: June 19th (2025) Spirit Coffin Publishing Presents… [TOMB-23] After one full year I’ve returned to digital zine issues. This issue features a number of digital illustrations done by yours truly, no AI generated anything just selection of sketches using a stylus and my phone. Otherwise we have two brand new interviews from this year (Barshasketh, Cosmic Putrefaction), one that’d previously published within an album premiere (Jade), and one from the 2024 archives (Stress Angel). Future issues will follow this format and focus on interviews. Interviews with: BARSHASKETH, JADE, COSMIC PUTREFACTION, STRESS ANGEL. All artwork by J.M. Logo(s) by Jason Roberts.
