Enjoy the privelege of watching this fine offering from the King of B-Movies!

 

The Rue Morgue issue that is out this month devoted a full page to Bill Zebub (The Gore-Met).  Enjoy!

 

The much-awaited GRIMOIRE OF EXALTED DEEDS DVD VOLUME ! has been pushed back to an August/September release, but the good news is that it will be a 4-hour DVD.  It will still contain interviews with Tyr, Finntroll, Candlemass (original line-up), Cannibal Corpse, and Leaves' Eyes as a volley of new talks, but it will also contain older interiews with GWAR, Nevermore, King Diamond, Amon Amarth, and Type O Negative.  Additionally, it will contain audio from the legendary Darkthrone and Venom interviews - but what will the video be? If you guessed "A slideshow of Grimoire Girls" then you are correct! 

 

Bill Zebub will be doing a fill-in show Monday, June 9 on 91.1 FM (NJ/NY area) and also streamed on the Internet at www.wfmu.org from noon-3pm (New York time) as "Professor Dum Dum"

Bill Zebub will be doing a WEEKLY Saturday night show on that same station from midnight-3am, starting on June 21, as Professor Dum Dum.  The radio station website will also provide archives of the show in MP3 and Realaudio formats, and podcasts are also available.  The show is partially a music program and partially a call-in show in which people participate in bizarre discussions.

 

Our metal brother, Earl Root, has lost his battle this weekend.  We grieve the passing of this great man.  It has been told that he died while asleep.  It is our hope that the last moments were happy.

 

There will be a viewing party for METALHEADS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE EVIL on Thursday, June 12, 9:30pm-11pm at THE LOOP LOUNGE in Passaic, New Jersey.  Be among the first to see this amazing tragicomedy!  Most of the cast will be there for a meet-and-greet. 

 

 

 

Bil Zebub's movie "METALHEADS: The Good, the Bad, and the Evil" has been finalized and submitted for replication.  The movie will be available for purchase (DVD) in June.  This movie stars Emily Thomas as the female lead.  Fans of pro wrestling will be excited to see Carl "CHAOS" Williamson and George "The Slayer" Stiso. 

 

Bill Zebub will be at Chiller Theatre May 2-4, and rumor has it that at least three actresses from WORST HORROR will be there signing autographs.  Among the cool celebrities there that weekend will be Willam Forsythe (Devi's Rejects, Halloween, 88 Minutes).  He is one of the most approachable celebrities on the horror convention circuit.

 

Bill Zebub will be presenting his wares at the Maryland Deathfest in May.  METALHEADS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE EVIL should be out by then, as well as THE GRIMOIRE OF EXALTED DEEDS DVD VOLUME 1.  It is also hoped to have at least one new T-shirt design available. 

 

Cinema Wasteland is officially the first horror convention to announce the screening of Bill Zebub's latest experiment in outrageousness.  THE WORST HORROR MOVIE EVER MADE will be shown 11:30 PM at CINEMA WASTELAND (click on that word for a link to the site) on APRIL 4, 2008.

(Diane Thornton from the ILSA movies is going to be a guest at this convention, by the way).  Treat yourself to an early vacation that will keep you energized for the rest of the year.

 

It's official.  Bloodthorn interviews are done and will be part of "Black Metal: The Norwegian Legacy" which is slated for a May 2008 release.

 

A screening party (and DVD release party) will be held on February 21 (a Thursday night) at THE CLASH BAR, which is on 39 Harding Ave in Clifton.  New Yorkers rejoice, because you can take a bus from Port Authority (the 190 bus) which can drop you off at teh corner of Main ave & Harding Ave - you will be mere inches away from the screning.  And a bus back to NY comes by every 10 minutes.

The party is for the re-make of THE WORST HORROR MOVIE EVER MADE.  The event starts at 9pm.  You get to watch some crazy music videos while you get drunk and meet the cast.  Other directors, producers, and press will be present, so it's a great networking experience.  The actual movie begins at 10pm and ends at midnight.  You are welcome to stay and mingle with the cast and others.

FIRST 50 PEOPLE GET A FREE DVD - and you can ask cast members to sign your copy. You will never see this many actors/actresses in one place.

 

There will be a full page ad in teh February 2008 issue of METAL MANIACS, focused on the release of the new re-make of THE WORST HORROR MOVIE EVER MADE.  Also, there will be a screening party for this movie on February 21 in Clifton NJ.  Details for that to come as the date draws near.  If you are impatient you can Email masterzebub at aol dot com.

 

Scan up at the CONTENTS BAR - look at MEDIA and you will find the MP3 for the PROFESSOR DUM DUM radio show, sans music.  You get to hear the insanity of the on-air antics - hear how the professor deals with the general public.  You may think you have heard SHOCK JOCKS - downlaod the MP3 and hear what you've been missing.

 

The first new writer/reviewer in a long time proved his mettle (or should we say, "METAL").  His reviews are up and ready for your eager eyeballs.  Bill Zebub boasts, "It's been a long time since a writer has come along who has exactly the sort of attitude we are looking for here, but more importantly - who also has his onw sense of humor and style.  I wasn't looking for any Metal Monster clones.  I expect that Mr. Murphy will amass his own army of fans in the coming issues."

 

In case you like to download movies, Roger has made ASSMONSTER and DOLLA MORTE available as low-price downloads in the DivX format. Check the store.

 

The sister site (specializing in the movies of Bill Zebub) is now up - www.billzebub.com - it is but a small child right now but it will grow.  Enjoy the galleries and trailers, and of course, contribute to the forums!  Remember to register when you go there!!!

 

In post-production right now, Bill Zebub is making an alternate version of ASSMONSTER and it will tentatively be called "B-MOVE: The Comedy of Horror." 

Bill Zebub explains: "I don't want to burn the devoted fans who are completists and relish collecting every morsel that I release, so I am going to use totally different footage wherever possible, and some scenes will be extended while others are cut a bit short.  The reason for the new version was initially just an "also known as" cut for people who were turned off by the name "Assmonster" but I also wanted to make a cut that was marketed for its "Do-It-Yourself" spoof instead of the sexploitation-spoof angle.   I'll also choose never-before seen bloopers to make this a "must have" even for people who thoroughly enjoyed ASSMONSTER."

That's right.  "Assmonster: The Making of a Horror Movie" is going to play the Hollywood Film Festival.  Showtimes, address, and other info to be posted at www.hollywoodawards.com

Bill Zebub thanks Jeremy Knox from Film Threat
"Jeremy is the one who made this happen.  I am in his debt for this, and for the glowing review he wrote about the movie. (Since then others have followed.  You always remember your first, heh heh.)"

 

Bill Zebub is going to Norway in October and to Germany and Czech Republic in November to interview (and in some cases, to RE-interview) bands for the new version of his black metal documentary.  He will continue to interview bands touring the States and will finish compiling all of the new footage by February 2008 - but if all of the scheduled bands from Norway and Germany are successfully filmed, the documentary may be unleashed much sooner.

The first edit, with Gloomy Grim on the cover, is a limited edition release.
 

The first tabloid-format issue hits the streets August 9th, 2007.  It's 32-pages, but it's a lot bigger than the all-glossy format so you won't be missing much text.  And it's FREE!  Well, it's free where available.  A PDF of this issue will be available to REGISTERED users, so if you haven't registered, you have to purchase a download from the site store.  This issue has a couple of comeback interviews from the archives, targeted for the people who missed them the first time around.  The deadline for this issue has passed. But it's not too late to get in on the action for #33.  And of course, this site is active, so material will be posted way before it hits print.

If you have any problems, site-wise, please Email me at masterzebub@aol.com

You might have problems with the forums.  Just post a resonse, or start a new thread, and make sure to preview your post and then hit UPDATE.  Your post should appear. 

Also, if you have registered and are not able to see the hundreds of pictures in the galleries, remember to scroll all the way down to see the galleries that you are entitled to.  Remember, you have to be a registered user to see these galleries (registration is free).

For now, most trailers are at www.billzebub.com

Remember, the nude pics, audio content (audio versions of interviews), and video content are available only to the exalted PREMIUM subscribers.  Hold off from premium subscriptions or anything from the store until Monday, April 30th because the webhost is on vacation until then and we want to verify that all the bugs in the system are fixed.


 

After having spent a lot of time re-vamping the site, it was decided to launch the new version of this site a bit before it actually gets finished.  There are a ton of interviews, pictures, MP3's, streaming video, and products that have yet to be added.  Even so, this teaser should keep you occupied for a while.  

If you want to view (non-nude) pictures of Grimoire Girls, enjoy trailers from Bill Zebub movies, and post comments to articles or post stuff in the forums, you have to register.  Registering is free. 

Premium subscribers get to see a larger variety of Grimoire Girl photos, and many of these photos are nude.  Premium subscribers also get to see a lot of other pictures, like stills that were taken during movie shoots.  Premium subscribers are also entitled to audio and video content on the site.  As of this writing, the audio and video content is still being prepared but it will be added very often until there is more stuff than you can possibly handle. 

After we take care of our premium subscribers we will offer a lot of downloadable content on the site store.  You will be able to buy MP# files of interviews, as well as exclusive MP3 content like Bill Zebub's various death metal bands, or his more absurd "Painful Meow" project.

One of the things that you should be excited about is the video on demand that will soon be completed.  There are many sites that currently offer Bill Zebub movies for download.  This site will make sure that not only will you be able to download a complete DVD, you also have many choices as to your preferred quality level or format.  For example, you can opt for the highest quality DVD or you may prefer to obtain the movie in the DIVX format. 

Hopefully you will agree that it was a good idea to launch this re-vamped site now and let you start enjoying the rich content, rather than waiting a few more weeks for the additional goodies to be added.  After this site is fully contructed, www.billzebub.com will go through similar improvements. 
 

Bill Zebub states. "I was nervous about the screening for a number of reasons.  First, it's a new place so I didn't know how the natives would react.  Second, this is the most brutal racial humor I have ever played around with.  Some members of the crowd were non-white so I had to process with them when they were about to see.They were very polite and quite excited about watching something new"

"To my amazement the crowd laughed at every single bit of humor.   While the movie was playing people were coming up to me to tell me how much their stomachs hurt from laughing so hard.  It became obvious to me that I had filmed a hit.  When it was over, the nonwhites expressed their enjoyment."

"This was a good test.  The crowd was diverse.  I just have to figure out how to market it."

"Among the notable guests were director JT Petty (Mimic 3), Fanogoria editor Mike Gingold, Alan Tecchio from Steppin' Out, and Ed Bowkley from Chiller Theatre."

"It looks like I will hold the next screening party at the Loop Lounge again."
 

Bill Zebub's new movie. "Spooked" will screen at the Loop Lounge (www.thelooplounge.com) on April 19th at 9:30 pm. 

This movie is the most brutal of the comedies, pushing further into taboo territory than "Stereotypes Don't Just Disappear Into Thin Air."  In fact, the movie was inspired by fan requests to perpetuate the "Kapeesh" character. 

"I chose to show this one at the Loop Lounge because I wanted to see what the reactions would be in a club that catered more to the college crowd.  There was one other club that I considered approaching, but they attract a frat-boy crowd, and those people are not the sort to appreciate an indie movie.  The Loop Lounge is a better mix, although it is not the sort of place that metalheads really visit.  But that's a good thing, because I want to see the movie's effects on people who are largely unacquainted with my work.  Colleges now, from what I have heard, have mandatory teaching of the multiculturalist agenda,  If that is true, then this experimental movie will produce very interesting results.  If people are brainwashed then they will be revolted.  But if they have good comprehension then they should be able to perceive the humor.  We'll soon know the verdict."
 

Bill Zebub's comedy about the making of a horror movie, titled "Assmonster" played at the Cinema Wasteland horror convention in Ohio (www.cinemawasteland.com).  It was interesting to see how different the reaction was between the Ohio viewing and the New Jersey viewing.

The people in Ohio laughed a lot more at the subtle points, which either means that Ohio denizens have a higher comprehension, or perhaps they understand more of the nuances because they are actually involved in the scene, whether by making movies themselves or by knowing people who make movies.  So the extra appreciation from this particular population may be due to being more acquainted with the subject matter than the New Jersey viewing (which was a general audience).  It's good to see that the humor is appreciated on several levels.

Viewers were very vocal about their enjoyment and made sure to express their opinions personally.  Thsi showed that Assmonster may very well be the flagship movie of the Bill Zebub line - you can watch this movie without having to look over your shoulder, heh heh.
 

The printed version of the magazine is still in undetermined fate.  As you may have heard, Tower Records is no more, and that chain was the biggest distributor that did not complain about the style of the magazine.  To enter other chains, the Grimoire printed magazine cannot contain graphic pictures.  Such is life in the newstand lane.  Currently there are several options being explored.  There is some demand for the magazine to return to the newsprint format instead if the ultra high quality glossy color pages.  The fans who prefer this form of printed matter are not just asking for the return to the old ways because the magazine was free (where available) - they really miss the experience of waking up the day after a concert and finding a rolled up Grimoire in their pocket.  There is also an option of making a tabloid version. No, that doens't mean that there will be articles about how aliens are impregnating lead singers of bands.  The term "tabloid" refers to the kind of printing, not the kind of content.  A tabloid format is the cheapest, not only because it uses newsprint paper but also because there is no cutting cost or bindery cost.  However, there are fans who feel that going back to newsprint is a step down. 

You may have heard bands and record companies complaining about douche bags who share MP3's or who burn CD's instead of buying them.  That kind of musical treason has consequences that trickle down.  When a record label loses money, it has to cut certain budgets.  This can mean the death of a band, or a band getting less money for studio time, and that would mean a drastic reduction in quality.  But it also means that budgets for advertising also get cut.  That is why a lot of magazines die.  If you did not know, a magazine's life blood is the money that it gets from advetisers.  When you see an advertisement for an album, it's not a magazine editor showing support for the album - it is a page that has been purchased by a record label.  The record label paid someone to design the ad.  When the Grimorie was a free publication (free where available) it was able to thrive because of the plentiful advertisers.  but unlike other magazines, a record lable did not buy our opinions when it paid for an ad.  Next time you read a magazine and find yourself looking at a glowing review of an album, thumb through the pages and you will most likely see a full color full page ad (the most expensive type of ad).  When you see this you are most likely reading a fake opinion.

Fortunately I am able to adapt to various changes and can usually come up with creative solutions.  However, there are people out there who have been forced to quit, and that affects me as a fan.  The next time you complain about the metal scene dying, ask yourself if you stabbed it in the back by stealing music.  Opps.  Sorry about sounding like a preacher.  We all know that when people shared tapes of bands in the past it was very good for the scene.  But it seems that there was a different mentality.  Tapes were traded to get people interested in new music, and if the music were appreciated, the fan went out and bought a real copy.  I am proud to say that all of my metal friends own real CD's, but I have overheard people (younger people) very casually talk about burning CD's, and it seems like their collections mostly consist of CDR's.  I just hope that if you are a person like this, you would at least go to metal shows and buy Tshirts there.  If you don't support a band by buying a CD, at least buy some kind of merchandise. Help to keep our music thriving.
