Great text from Fredrick Turner.
Originally appeared in Harper's 269, 1984.
Essential reading.
The debut issue of DESCENT MAGAZINE, created in 1993 and published May 1994.
Interviews with Burzum, Emperor, Accursed, Beyond Dawn, Solemn, In The Woods…, Necrophobic, Sigh, Bestial Warlust, Manes, Savior, Mangled, Nagual Mag., Immolation, an article on Gorgoroth, article on heathenism in classical music, USA black metal scene, and many reviews.
A handmade/computer generated layout shows the determination to get these ideas onto paper, and is a classic format of the time which we have all but lost.
"Coming from the enthusastic and obsessive mind of a 19 year old metalhead, who'd spent his years in the north Seattle suburbs reflective the ...all considering... incredible the amount off access that the underground offered back then. This opened my geocultural viewpoint and led to many paths, in it's own way, including nearly 20 years of art direction work. The issue originally had interviews penned with EARTH, MORBID ANGEL, CATHEDRAL and others but were all abandoned as the black metal influence overwhelmingly diseased my open curiosity of the time. Only print is real." —Stephen O'Malley
DESCENT MAGAZINE was a fanzine published between 1994-1999 by Stephen O'Malley, many issues were in collaboration with Tyler Davis (The Ajna Offensive). In total five volumes were produced over that period.

Third issue of DESCENT MAGAZINE (fanzine), originally published in 1996 with the collaboration between Stephen O'Malley and Tyler Davis, and with contributions by Runhild Gammelsæter, Bard "Faust" Eithun and others.
Magazine continues to focus primarily on the black metal being released at the time, although with issue editorial began branching out to noise, post-industrial, World Serpent, ambient and even music-related visual art.
Interviews with: Blood Axis, Monumentum, Cradle of Filth, Emperor, Brighter Death Now, Satyricon, Ved Buens Ende, Death In June, Dissection, Allerseelen, Sol Invictus, Gehenna (NOR), MZ.412, Coven, Evoken, Smell & Quim, Trial of The Bow (ex-DISEMBOWELMENT), Kari Rueslatten, Taint, Tor Lundsvall, ATWA (Charles Manson, Lynette Fromme & Sandra Good), plus hundreds of slanderous and praise-filled reviews.
Layout hugely inspired by Roger Karmanik / Cold Meat Industry design of the time, albeit with a naïve touch of junior typography and hard to read in many places. 1500 copies of this "tome" were printed.

Die Reihe was a German-language music journal, edited by Herbert Eimert and Karlheinz Stockhausen and published by Universal Edition (Vienna) between 1955 and 1962 (ISSN 0486-3267). An English edition was published, under the original German title, between 1957 and 1968 by the Theodore Presser Company (Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania), in association with Universal Edition (ISSN 0080-0775). A related book series titled Bücher der Reihe was begun, but only one title ever appeared in it, Herbert Eimert's Grundlagen der musikalischen Reihentechnik.
Die Reihe became the most important source of information about European serial and electronic music, thanks in part to the appearance of the English edition.

Second issue of DESCENT MAGAZINE (fanzine), originally published in 1995 with the collaboration between Stephen O'Malley and Runhild Gammelsæter, Tyler Davis, Antoinette Flynn, Nebel and Tania Steine.
Magazine continues to focus primarily on the black metal being released at the time, specifically the Norwegian and Greek scenes, with occasional forays into black metal related ambient music (an article titles "Ritual.Ambient.Sound") and feature with the Black Metal related artist (at the time) Tania Steine, also a member of Aghast. The highlight in this issue was a huge interview with the legendary Quorthon of Bathory done by fax around the time of the "Blood on Ice" album.
Interviews with: Bathory, Darkthrone, Enslaved, Ulver, Thorns, Abigail, Mystifier, Thou Art Lord, Primordial, Sabbat, Satyricon, Fleurety, Typhon, Hades, Unpure, Metalion (of Slayer Magazine), Necromantia, Mortiis, Equimanthorn, Darkness Enshroud, Aghast. Additionally, included scores of enthusiastic album and demo reviews.
Layout and design was an improvement to the debut issue, although still quite a naïve experiment with QuarkXpress by a beginner to junior level designer. The magazine was web printed on newsprint, the cheapest option available, using paper plates. 1000 copies were printed.
DESCENT MAGAZINE was a fanzine published between 1994-1999 by Stephen O'Malley, many issues were in collaboration with Tyler Davis (The Ajna Offensive). In total five volumes were produced over that period.
The Death Issue. Fifth, and final, issue of DESCENT MAGAZINE (fanzine), originally published in 1999 with the collaboration between Stephen O'Malley and Tyler Davis, with contributions from Spider, Runhild Gammelsæter, Alexandre Heine, Kadmon, JC Smith, Taint and Markus Wolff.
Penultimate and ultimately mercurial form of this project. Smaller square/widescreen spread format, spot colors on cover… decent layout. The magazine continues to focus on the black metal but heavily walks amongst the "esoteric & obscure microcosm transmissions" as stated on the cover.
Interviews with: Angelcorpse, Blood Axis, Bethlehem, Brocas Helm, Coil, Control Resistance, Darkthrone, Der Blutharsch, Destroyer 666, Dream Into Dust, Enslaved, Ernte, Eyehategod, Genocide Organ, Stephen Kasner, Marduk, Mayhem, Orplid, Pentacle, Psywarfare, Boyd Rice, Tiermes, Turbund Stermwerk, Valefor… and hundreds of bitter and hateful reviews. The ultimate coup and probably the grail interview for Tyler and I was the SLEEP feature. We still worship at the altar of this band... more to say than many of the others featured. There was a time, once upon a time.
The magazine was properly printed offset. 1000 copies were produced. Aesthetically and atmospherically very influenced by the LOKI Foundation and TESCO Organization labels, looking in retrospect.
When I look at this well worn scan I am proud and consider that the project was completed in a noble way, and a great result of the strong collaboration between Tyler and myself. I decided to kill the magazine (and stop writing about music in other publications) to remove the literal criticism of music from my life, and in order to find my own way musically… and to try to make a life properly in NYC.
The project of significance immediately following this was KHANATE. SUNN O))) had primordially started between issue IV and V. Tyler focused strongly on AJNA and the growth was immediate and important for us both in all respects, if difficult.
