The website “metalbrasileirozines.com.br” is a recent online source (2024) that converges digitized fan zines of the Brazilian underground metal since the printed versions of the 80s. Navigating on the website is possible to filter the research of the digitized material by each of the twenty-six Brazilian states and the Federal District.
People from many parts of the country who possess the printed fan zines have turned them into a digital version and contributed to sending and displaying them on this website. And this collective contribution is still possible by sending via email. One of the older materials is the first Rock Brigade from 1982, which became a popular Rock/Metal magazine in the following years. Besides the tab zines, the following tabs constitute the website: news, about, and contact. For researchers or for those who wish to understand the Brazilian metal underground, this source is indispensable.
