Release Music Magazine (Mar-Jun 09)

Release Magazine is one of the oldest and most popular magazines for alternative music in Europe. Their specialties are electronic, industrial and gothic music. Born in Umea, Sweden in 1986, Release Music Magazine was the printed version of their current web magazine. In 1998 they shifted exclusively to the online realm, where they feel Release Music Magazine can focus on the large international, free, and always accessible version of Release, with more readers and bigger potential.



Their focus is on reviews (1,500 and counting) and music news. They also feature a number of interviews, and have sat down in the past with acts like Rammstein, Ministry, Martin L Gore, Jesus & the Mary Chain, Fields of the Nephilim, Throbbing Gristle, Astral Projection, Kent, Jay-Jay, HIM, Yazoo and Rex the Dog. Currently they are seeking bands for their review and interview sections. They often mention new artists in the News section including web link and photo. The News section is the most popular section on their site. This is an invaluable opportunity to gain worldwide exposure for your band, especially in Europe.
