Lunar Hypnosis was originally a webzine based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin founded on May 14, 2001 by architect JJM. The ‘zine featured many freelance writers from around the USA as well as a few from abroad. While the ‘zine originally started as a bland heavy metal-only ‘zine it eventually expanded into reviewing almost all styles imaginable. After just a little over seven years of existence Lunar Hypnosis was buried in December of 2008. One year later Lunar Hypnosis returns - in blog form.
As for the old LH archive I have decided to not upload all of it rather instead I will go through the old reviews and from time to time and they will appear online eventually. The reason for not just uploading everything is simply because in some cases I don’t even own the CDs anymore since I sold them for extra cash or I just didn’t like them any longer. It wouldn’t seem fair to publish reviews like this. Also because in a lot of cases my opinions have changed or I simply don’t feel that the old review is adequate. The good news is that because of this there will be an update everyday or nearly every day. Keep in mind if you’ve proven to be a friend over the years your album will surely be present before others. You know who you are. Hope you understand my choice.
As for the interviews they will eventually appear online as well, though probably only the ones I conducted in the last couple of years since I really didn’t start doing good ones until 2006 or so. The same goes with the articles and other random stuff that was on the old ‘zine.
As far as promos are concerned you can contact me and will go from there. I won’t accept any mysterious packages like before.
Other than that follow the blog, comment on the posts and let me know what you think. As always thanks for reading and do take care.
