And not only reviews of zines are added but also reviews of some CDs. So yes the review section is opened again and more will follow. So if YOU want to write too for BRUTALISM.com just get in fukking touch!!!
 
I  want to continue the reviews but I cannot do it alone. There are already some people who write and have written before but I want more people to get brutalized. So what I am offering is the ability to join the review staff and become a real brutal maniac. For those who want to do reviews I can create a login for the site and they can add a lot of stuff. So in this way of giving you access to the CMS the BRUTALISM.com site can be expanded with the help of many. I am still working on adding new items to the site but this can be done when more people join.

So if you want to participate and help the metal community write me an email and become part of the pain and pleasure!
