Spanish metal zine FRIEDHOF (CEMETERY) MAGAZINE is CLOSING after 20 years of covering extreme metal.
FROM FRIEDHOF (CEMETARY) MAGAZINE:
[ English below ] Cemetery Magazine 2002 - 2022. 20 years of Metal Extreme in Friedhof Magazine!.
Today we celebrate our 20th anniversary and despite what may seem, after some time of reflection, we have decided to celebrate this event with a farewell. This is why we got to the end of Friedhof Magazine.
There are several reasons for it.
The main thing is that we, the editors, have been 100% volunteers in this (none of our social media is monetized, nor our website which we have kept it free of publicity, rejecting monetary requests for stamps and p breakers), and we really don't have the time to deal with it anymore to the enormous amount of daily work that we are supposed to carry, for us, a digital media as professionally as possible.
To the task of reviewing and responding to over 600 emails (no spam) each week in the inbox, with tons of premiere requests, we add the personal plan, most importantly, our family. So life outside the music world, family and professional jobs, are the absolute priority.
That being said, we want to thank all the bands that have trusted us over the years, with thousands of bands and stamps that wanted a good promotion (real) of their launches at zero cost, being our philosophy since the beginning ios until the day in the that we closed, and this is what we consider to be supporting what many seem to not finish understanding, the Underground.
Besides, what makes us most proud is that we have managed to create a family within our team with people who have been collaborating with us for years. We can say with full satisfaction that we have allowed ourselves the luxury of selecting those we have wanted to be part of our team, throwing away candidates who did not meet our requirements.
It was a great honor to see us invited to the best European Metal Extreme Underground festivals to share our work: free reviews, hundreds of quality live photos and videos.
Añadir el gran privilegio de poder trabajar con estrenos exclusivos de tantos sellos como: Metal Blade, Prophecy Productions, Relapse Records, Indie Recordings, Agonia Records, Season Of Mist, Debemur Morti, Dark Essence, Soulseller, Immortal Frost Productions, Emanzipation Productions, Avantgarde Music, Time To Kill Records, Talheim, Uprising! Records, Comatose, Kolony, Black Lion, Sliptrick, Via Nocturna, Everlasting Spew, Casus Belli Musica, Solitude Productions, Morbid Skull Records, Osmose Productions, Sevared Records, Godz ov War Productions, Unique Leader Records, Odium Records, Inverse Records, Loud Rage Music, Non Serviam Records, Satanath Records (GrimmDistribution), Ketzer Records, Mighty Music, Negra Nit distro, Lost Apparitions Records, World War Now Records, Downfall Records, Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions, Funere Records, My Kingdom Music, Ván Records, Memento Mori, Nuclear War Now! Productions, Indisciplinarian, Redefining Darkness Records, entre otros.
We hope to have helped you all discover truly honest, hard-working and unfairly underrated bands, and we want to thank you for your support without which we couldn't be here for twenty years.
Keep supporting the bands by buying their CDs, LPs or T-shirts, and of course attending their concerts. This is the real underground support, this is how you get to cost the expenses you suppose to keep an underground band, all the instrumental material and the step to enter a studio that can collect and stream all the potential are gold and composite band. Sorry, but, having 100k listens on Spotify (and others) you don't get any of this.
We finished here, on the plus side there are new projects on the way for some of us. So, keep an eye out.
Thanks again,
Luis, Nestor and the team of Friedhof Magazine.

There are several reasons for this.
The main one is that the editors have been 100% volunteers with this project (none of our social media is monetized, nor is our website which we have kept free of advertising, refusing monetary requests from labels and promoters), and we really don't have time anymore to cope with the enormous amount of daily work involved in running a digital magazine as professional as possible.
In addition to the work of checking and answering more than 600 emails (not spam) every week in the inbox with tons of requests for premieres, we add our personal reasons, the most important thing: our family. Thus, life outside the music world, family, and professional work, all of them are our absolute priority.
That said, we want to thank all the bands that have trusted us over the years with thousands of bands and labels that wanted a good (real) promotion of their releases at zero cost. It was our philosophy from the beginning until the day we close, and this is what we consider to be the support where many don't seem to understand, the Underground.
Furthermore, what we are most proud of is that we have managed to create a family within our staff with people who have been collaborating with us for years. We can say with great satisfaction that we have had the luxury of selecting those we wanted to be part of our team, discarding candidates who did not meet our requirements.
It was a great honour for us to be invited to the best European Extreme Metal Underground festivals to share our work: free opinions, hundreds of photos, and quality live videos.
Also, it was a great privilege to work with exclusive premieres for so many labels like: Metal Blade Records, Prophecy Productions, Relapse Records, Indie Recordings, Agonia Records, Season of Mist, Debemur Morti Productions, DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, Soulseller Records, Immortal Frost Productions, Emanzipation Productions, Avantgarde Music, Time To Kill Records, Talheim Records, Uprising Records, Comatose Music, Kolony Records, Black Lion Records, Sliptrick Records, Via Nocturna, Everlasting Spew Records, Casus Belli Musica, Solitude Productions, Morbid Skull Records & Distro, Osmose Productions, Sevared Records, Godz Ov War Productions, Unique Leader Records, Odium Records, Inverse Records, Loud Rage Music, Non Serviam Records, Satanath Records (GrimmDistribution), Ketzer Records, Mighty Music, Negra Nit distro, Lost Apparitions Records, World War Now Records, Downfall Records, Les Acteurs de l'ombre Productions, Funere, My Kingdom Music, Ván Records, Memento Mori, Nuclear War Now!

This is the real underground support, this is how they manage to pay for the expenses involved in keeping an underground band, all the instrumental material, and the step to get into a studio that manages to collect and transmit all the sonic and compositional potential of a band. We are sorry, but having 100k listening on Spotify (and others) you don't get any of this.
We end here. On the bright side, there are new projects on the way for some of us, so stay tuned.
