KILL THE MESSENGER: Issue Number Three

Elizabeth, New Jersey: Frank J. Cassidy, 1994. Scarce extreme music zine assembled in the classic cut-and-paste style. Features a lengthy Assück tour diary written by photographer Ruby Yocum, as well a profile of stoner doom legends Sleep that is based on a conversation with guitarist Matt Pike and mentions in passing the song that would become the band's magnum opus: "Since the writing of this article, SLEEP did the tour with HAWKWIND, which in most cases, resulted in a three-song 45 minute set which included a new 20 minute song, appropriately entitled, 'Dope Smoker.'" There is also an interview with Mike IX Williams of sludge lords Eyehategod and reviews of Deadguy's "Whitemeat" (1994), Jawbreaker's "24 Hour Revenge Therapy", Neurosis' "Enemy of the Sun", Offspring's "Smash", etc. Standard magazine size: [22] pp. including the wrappers.
