-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WHO IS GINO FILICETTI?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gino Filicetti is an 19 year old student and is one of the founding
members of Chronicles of Chaos, along with Adrian Bromley, they got
the idea of putting together an ezine for all kinds of metal fans
worldwide. Previously, Gino had another Internet ezine called: Loud
Lyrix, a forum for Internet users to share the lyrics of their
favorite heavy metal songs. It lasted from March to September of
1994. Gino has been a fan of metal his whole life with his earliest
memories being those of his brother blasting KISS records all the
time. Since then he's grown to enjoy heavier and more extreme types
of music. Gino is currently in high school for another semester, and
plans on entering Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.
WHO IS ADRIAN BROMLEY?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adrian Bromley is a 24 year old freelance writer for several
publications in and around Toronto and throughout Canada. He does
light freelance work for art magazines VENUE and MENZ, contributes
work to RHiG Magazine (indie alt/rock) and is one of the main
contributors to the world reknown M.E.A.T Magazine and it's new
predecessor Alternative Rock Monthly (A*R*M). His musical interests
range from alternative to death metal. His work for CoC has been as
coordinator of the magazine (arranging interviews, product and record
label contact) and along with Gino Filicetti, has done some serious
time ruining his ear drums with loud aggressive death, thrash and
black metal while passionately promoting the mag. His work within the
metal community has been strong and continues to aid CoC and
contribute countless record reviews as well as key interviews. Some
interviews have been with such notable heavyweights as Fear Factory,
My Dying Bride, Bathory, Type O Negative, Cathedral, Napalm Death,
Neurosis, Cemetary, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, Nailbomb, Sepultura,
Paradise Lost, Exit-13, Mortification, Mindrot and the list goes on.
His prime goal with Chronicles of Chaos is to once again bring back
the need for metal in today's music.
WHO IS ALAIN M. GAUDRAULT?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alain M. Gaudrault is a longtime metal fan disgusted with the lack of
media coverage given to extreme forms of music. Impressed by the
content quality of the first issue of Chronicles of Chaos, he knew
the editors could use an eagle eye to clean up errors, and even
submit the occasional review. While typically preferring speed,
death, and black metal, Alain's musical heros are Black Sabbath and
Alice Cooper, two highly influential acts who helped ring in the age
of extremism in music back in the early 1970s. In his late twenties,
Alain has completed a Master's degree in Computer Science, is
co-founder of an educational software company, and is currently
working as a software developer, creating software tools for
programmers.
WHO IS BRIAN MELOON?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian Meloon is a contributing writer for Chronicles of Chaos, with
just enough spare time on his hands to add a few reviews each issue.
Brian recently moved to Ithaca, NY (otherwise known as the middle of
nowhere) in August, 1994 after being born and raised in Madison, WI.
Currently, he attends Cornell University, studying (appropriately
enough) chaotic dynamical systems. Brian's favorite kind of music is
technical metal of all types.
WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE ZINE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chronicles of Chaos is electronically distributed monthly through
internet email. Most issues exceed 80k so they are delivered in two
parts since many of our subscribers mailboxes can not handle such a
huge load of information in one message. Chronicles of Chaos consists
of eight basic parts, an editorial, "Loud Letters," a 'letters to the
editor' type section. "Ferocious Features," a section of feature
stories with signed acts, "Chaotic Chat Sessions," a section of
question and answer interviews with signed acts. "Record
Revelations," record reviews of signed acts. "Independent
Interrogations," a section of stories on independent bands. "New
Noise," a demo review section. "Chaotic Concerts," a concert review
section. "Tours of Torture," a tour listing section and "What We Have
Cranked," a top five list of this month's favorite records from the
staff.
HOW CAN I HELP OUT WITH CHRONICLES OF CHAOS?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are always happy to hear from our subscribers, any comments or
questions you have will be read and answered and printed in the "Loud
Letters" section of the following issue. Reader submissions are also
welcome, what we really need is reports on local scenes... if you
live in a remote part of the world, we want to hear about your metal
scene. Another thing you can do is ADVERTISE! Our goal is to reach as
many people in the world as possible, so every little bit of
advertising helps, just spread the word around to ALL newsgroups and
mailing lists. All help is greatly appreciated.
DO YOU REALLY REVIEW ALL DEMOS SENT TO YOU?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this point in time we do review ALL demos sent to us, but we do
not have the money to snail mail out a copy of the issue to any band
that doesn't have Internet access. This is an unfortunate reality,
but Chronicles of Chaos is an EZINE, so its natural habitat is the
Internet. However, we greatly appreciate all demos sent to us, and we
always try and review them all, but I can not see into the future,
and if we start to receive unreal amounts of demos, it will be
physically impossible to review them all, but we will always try our
best.
HOW DO I LEAVE CHRONICLES OF CHAOS?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may leave Chronicles of Chaos at any time by sending a message
with "UNSUBSCRIBE coc-ezine" in the BODY of your message to the list
handler at listproc@lists.colorado.edu. Please note that this command
must NOT be sent to the list address <coc-ezine@lists.colorado.edu>,
but to the mail server which handles this mailing list.
HOW DO I REPORT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reports of any and all problems should be mailed to Gino Filicetti
at ginof@io.org... we greatly appreciate any help you can give
us
CHRONICLES OF CHAOS IS TOO BIG FOR MY MAILBOX!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chronicles of Chaos is already being split into two or three parts to
make it easier on our subscriber's mailboxes, but if at any time any
part of Chronicles of Chaos gets too big that it will not fit your
mail quota, mail us immediately and inform us of the problem, we will
split the issue for you into smaller pieces, and make a note for all
subsequent issues.
THIS FAQ WILL BE AMENDED AND POSTED AS REQUIRED.
