ZT Printed Mag Contributors

Gun slinging pirate, absent minded motormouth maverick, so charlie harper alike it's not two and a half men anymore, so damn atlas complex that it makes freud turn in his grave.
Scott Broderick

Scientist by day and a journalist by night, long time ZT contributor Russell Garwood's tastes are eclectic, with an emphasis on the extreme.
Martin Ives

Scott McKeating
Contributor
Awkward bastard Scott McKeating is more a fan of singular releases over any loyalty to particular genres. Signed up since issue 026, he still strongly believes that "Varg sux".

Don't let his cool, calm and collected exterior fool you, Alex needs no excuse to get in about the most furious 'core, grind and powerviolence you'll ever hear.
Talie Helene
Contributor
ZT's only current antipodean correspondent, Talie Helene lives life at the low end of the spectrum; an extreme renaissance girl rockin' the double bass hard!
John Norby
Contributor

Louis Pattison
Contributor
This London-based writer owns lots of records about serial killers, but would like to point out he's not particularly interested in serial killing per se. Especially if the authorities are reading.
Chris Kee
Contributor
Part of the core ZT team from the very start, Chris Kee is probably the most passionate supporter of metal (in all its glorious forms) you'll ever meet.
Justin Stubbs
Contributor
He who dwells in the abysmal pits of sarcasm and purveyor of deathly chaos in Father Befouled. Prefers shitty sounds and pretty pictures.

Contributor
The grey nothing from the land of a thousand cold lakes (that's Finland), Mikko is the brain behind Qvadrivivm 'zine and reports for ZT on the gigs you never went to...
Cormac O' Siochain
Contributor
Agent provocateur and all around shit-stirrer, Cormac O'Siochain can be found stalking the line between punk and metal with a middle finger reserved for both. Also prone to drunken song.
Lord Randall

This unpredictable beast is lord of misrule yet slavishly devoted to infecting the willing (and unwilling) with the incurable disease of extremity in all its forms.
