I've never found there to be much interest, at least in talking about them.  I'm not sure why that is.  

I think because they just kept on keeping a low profile.

Well, they did at least have the name. In the late 80s, in my town, I'd wager ZF were by far the most played project on college radio. And whichever whomever radio dj would always make a point of pronouncing the name with the quintessential smirky voice of mock authority. When I was a kid the project always held its own mystery or mythos, probably just from the name itself! But listening to the shit has always carried with it (and now perhaps more than ever) the fine fetor of indistinct, shadowy, slightly smudged or smeared...rite of initiation. Or some shit.

Finally, OFR releases the first shirt ever of the Death Noise Post Mortem project CERVICAL SMEAR! Limited to only 50 copies and printed on highest quality Gildan Heavy Cotton shirts (their fit is similar to that of FotL but the material is thicker and more durable), this official shirt comes with thick professional print of the "Ophelia"source material. Be quick!

Hi Mårten

Long time no see... remember that interview well although I can't remember which issue it was. I should dig out the old zines and re-read it.

Shouting at the ground is such a great release and I'm extremely fond of Just an illusion. I most have gotten them at roughly the same time. Late eighties early nineties.

MASKHEAD: Rough Disciplines -cd
 
Hiisi Productions proudly presents Maskhead’s fourth album. After highly praised split 7” with Killer Bug, a few compilation tracks and brutal ”Bizarre Offerings” album, this finnish noise entity offers here sleazy and rough self-made electronics/metaljunk cut-up ride. Rough Disciplines start Maskhead’s S/M oriented album trilogy. The other chapters of this trilogy are: Tender Sufferings (2022) and Force of Submission (2023).Filthy and deranged as always, but in the case of Maskhead there is always some new twists innit.

Hi there Magnus, yep been out of the loop for quite some time. Guess I still am but ZF pulled me back, at least temporarily.

I remember the 1997 show at Kafé 44 very well. A great evening through and through, with Pluxus supporting - their first ever gig. The ZF interview Ingrid and I did on this occasion subsequently went into the Soma 'zine. This was back in the days when they still hauled their arsenal of instruments and huge racks (photo) around the world, being hit for excess weight at every airport check-in. Which eventually had them scaling down and going for a more digital approach. Who can blame them?

Now the good news is that Canada is back open, Australia, New Zealand also. Most countries FA usually ships works just fine. UK mail is now cluttered most of all due shut down due covid, USA mail may be slower, but rarely items are permanently lost.

Finnish post priced changed again. No surprise that they got higher, yet FA has secured deals that makes sure that for couple of years shipping prices should remain the same! All the non-EU letters are now registered online with CN22 code, so theoretically also all non-EU letter mail can be tracked.

Some international distributors have received, or will receive for the new titles in near future.

coming back very quick

Hi Mårten, been a long time!
I saw Zoviet France a few times, remember one at the punkplace Kafé 44 here in Stockholm, you probably were there too, when a punkguy regular to the place after the show went to the stage and told them something along the lines of: "i have never heard music like this before but it was fantastic" - and it was!
