After a 2-year hiatus PE's print magazine returns! We're back to a compact and affordable newsprint format and will resume publishing four times per year.

Issue #59 contains interviews with Dave Dictor of the legendary MILLIONS OF DEAD COPS, Twin Cities hardcore punks IN DEFENCE, artist/illustrator Hush a.k.a. Jeremy Clark—(originally slated as the featured artist in the aborted issue #58). There is also the first of a two part series in memorial of Warren "Spider" Hastings and the legacy of his Punkfests at Spiderland Acres. To round it off, all of our regular columnists are back in full swing, Maygun covers Indian foods in her Vegan Recipe section (also originally slated for #58) and review section that totally raises the bar for the level of thoroughness of each item covered.

If you are just ordering a single zine from the web site, keep in mind that minimum postage is going to be $3 in the USA and more elsewhere. You will be much better off combining your zine purchase with a larger order or purchasing a four-issue subscription ($10 for 4 issues in the USA - postage included). If you previously had an active subscription in the fall of 2008, it will automatically resume with PE #59.

The Last Line of Resistance is a split LP between two of Wisconsin's most noteworthy hardcore / crust bands of today - released just in time for the bands' joint 2010 East Coast tour. Appleton's WARTORN fill their side with two lengthy virtuosos of monstrous crust power, while Madison's PYROKLAST (ex-DISCIDER) level all left standing with six mad blasts of hardcore thrash. Hush (aka Jeremy Clark) contributes awesome new art for both the front and back covers, with a characteristically apocalyptic perspective that perfectly suite this album's title. The Last Line of Resistance has been cooperatively released by Profane Existence, Offensive Media, Sysdumb, Despotic, Crimes Against Humanity, and Diskontento Records. First press limited to 500 copies. Get 'em while they last.

An intense new full length album from this dark crust band hailing from the gloomy crust punk underworld of Gothenburg, Sweden. Eight songs in just over 72 minutes(!) of death and blackmetal gloom with a healthy dose of crust punk influences. This is one of the most epic and most expressive releases to date: crushed souls, despair, and everything you'd expect from a Profane Existence title. Agrimonia previously self-released a crushing hour-long demo in 2007, which was later repressed on vinyl by Skuld Releases and on CD by Detesta Records. Vinyl version of Host of the Winged will also be released in Europe by Skuld and should be available for their West Coast tour of the US in August. Check out their page on MySpace for the latest info. Also read their interview in Profane Existence.

Digital versions of Host of the Winged is also available for purchase from iTunes, Amazon, MP3, Napster, Spotify, eMusic, Zune, Nokia, Shockhound, Thumbplay, IMVU, eMusic and more. Vinyl versions from Skuld releases will soon be available through Profane Existence Distro.

Profane Existence and Crimes Against Humanity Records are pleased to announce the debut EP from one of the most exciting new bands: Hailing from Hell Town, Wisconsin, Dresden delivers the Midwest’s most recent answer to the West coasts’ domination of the U.S. crust scene. Laden with veterans (members of Wartorn, Despite, Words That Burn, Flags Will Cover The Coffins, and Remission), Dresden pulls from these backgrounds to create a new facet in the crust/metal sound. Riffs range from the Swedish hardcore (reminiscent of Wartorn and State of Fear), to the slow and melodic, to chug filled brutality along the lines of Stormcrow and Hellshock. Drums vary from breakneck d-beat to tribal, which are coupled with the screamed lead vocals and guttural backgrounds that put the finishing touch on this crushing ensemble. The God Has No Mercy 7 inch is limited to 300 copies, hand numbered and on blue vinyl. If you are lucky enough to catch Dresden on their upcoming West Cost tour with The Parish (July 7th – 17th), you may be able to get one of the 100 copies with screen printed cloth covers. Otherwise you can order it for a limited time from Profane Existence with a regular printed cover. Dresden will also be releasing their new full length LP/CD Final Hour in July (being released in cooperation with Profane Existence, Crimes Against Humanity, and Shaman Records).
