Caustic Truths

History

Beginning in 1992, Caustic Truths has evolved into a very diverse magazine, covering the whole spectrum of heavy music, whether it be traditional punk music, classic hardcore or the many diverse styles of metal. Various music labels covering different styles of music have also, at one point or another, become a part of Caustic Truth's evolution. However, the magazine does not cater exclusively to the world of music. Video games, the fashion world and the movie industry have also been covered, bringing an even more open-minded readership. Artists as diverse as Johnny Rotten (of the Sex Pistols), Ministry, Paul Di'Anno (of Iron Maiden), Zakk Wylde (of the Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne) have been featured as the cover personalities. Other personalities such as Jello Biafra, Amy Lee (of Evanescence), Lamb of God, Fat Mike (of NOFX), Richard Kruspe (of Rammstein), Sonic Youth, Sum 41, The White Stripes and The Hives have been given the opportunity to express their opinions through in-depth interviews. Due to a stellar response in the underground and word of mouth, Caustic Truths has progressed from its early days as a black and white fanzine to a national magazine with full glossy colour covers carried by big distribution chains.

Snaggletooth Magazine

Caustic Truth's sister publication, SnaggleTooth magazine (named after a Motörhead song) reared its ugly head some time in 2004, not as an alter-ego of Caustic Truths but rather a continuation of established principles. Focusing slightly more on the pure metal world, the publication was well received, and such personalities as Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, Lacuna Coil and Black Sabbath appeared in the magazine. The publication ran for nine straight issues and is currently (Oct 2007) not published.
