The World's first ever Pagan Gothic Music and Subculture Fanzine and Magazine is returning to publication once more.
Founded in 1994 Cyrkel Spynn Fanzine was the first ever printed periodical to crossover the genres of Gothic and Alternative music with Pagan Culture. It quickly became the leading periodical in the UK of it's kind... in 1995 when the first issue was printed as a black and white photocopied fanzine it was printed to 3500 copies, that grew to an eventual pressing of the Cyrkel Spynn Magazine in electronic PDF format released on CD-ROM and pressed to 15'000 copies in the mid 2000s.
Cyrkel Spynn Magazine stopped publishing in 2008, due to DMMG being busy with the music management label and record labels....

Cyrkel Spynn Fanzine was a phenomenon in it's own right, it was the first ever Pagan music fanzine in the World, and over 6 issues as a fanzine gained much acclaim and a huge following in the alternative and underground music scenes back when the internet was in it's infancy and was still to take off, way before the likes of yahoo groups, myspace profiles, and other online services that creative persons in the music industry later latched onto the self-publishing and small press scene was a gold mine and key for bands to spread there message, get reviews, gain press interviews, and generally be seen by music fans... a lot of bands even set up their of fanzines as part of their fan club following.
Cyrkel Spynn was no different, it was unique though, as initially it was a hand written fanzine rather than typed, and then photocopied in black and white... and self distributed to the masses as a physical stapled together photocopied zine en-mass through the snail-mail postal services distributed to the world, and made available for alternative shops to sell around the UK.
Founded in 1994, and first published as a fanzine it ran from 1995 to 1998.
Later however, Cyrkel Spynn (Magazine) re-appeared for a few more issues as a, at first inkjet printed full colour managzine, then in pdf format on CD-ROM. At it's peak it was pressed to 15'000 copies per issue. The fanzine/magazine stopped publication in 2008.
But many people even to this days have fond memories of it, and many bands quoted the reviews we gave them in their band biography information and press kits.
Over the years we interviewed and reviewed the music of a lot of amazing bands!!!
The Fanzine/Magazine crossed genres and wasn't just Pagan, it also reviewed Gothic, Darkwave, Electro, Alt. Metal, Alt. Rock, Folk, Neo-Folk, and Neo-Classical, Ethereal, Ambient, Soundscape genres, as well as featuring interviews with authors, publishing articles, poetry, artwork, and much more...
The ideology of Cyrkel Spynn Fanzine/Magazine still holds strong to this day...
