Crewzine was an underground music & culture zine, mail order music service, and, later, music label from Slovakia.[1] Principal members of Crewzine were Richard Gürtler (a.k.a. "Antius"), Roman Petro (a.k.a. "Ergo"), Peter Dubravík (a.k.a. "Abortion") and Lubo Požgay (a.k.a. "Chainsaw").[2]
Zine[edit]
Crewzine was published in eight issues between 1991 and 1995 and provided a pre-Web resource for fans of EBM, Industrial, darkwave, synthpop, noise, and other underground music genres. The first several issues were published in both English and Slovak, but later issues were English only. Each issue grew progressively in size from dozens of pages to just under 100 pages in black & white format with photos and illustrations. Each issue included music reviews, label news, user-contributed scene reports, interviews, mail order listings, live show reviews, and lists of other resources from all over Europe and the world.
Crewzine #8 (1995) was the last published issue.[3] The publishers cited financial and time burdens as well as competition from better capitalized Central European scene magazines as contributing to the decision to stop publishing.[4]
Mail Order & Label[edit]
Crewzine's mail order service began while the zine was still in publication[4] and lasted until 1999. The mail order catalogue specialized in industrial and dark ambient music and spawned an eponymous label imprint with artists such as Blink Twice and Slovak artists including Einleitungszeit, Morbid Fancy, and Ergo's two projects, Gaping Chasm and Anima Mundi.[5]
