 Malice was a fanzine published by Chris Phinney from December 1982 to January 1985 and was the root from which the Harsh Reality Music cassette label grew. I have scanned and uploaded all nine issues of Malice to the HalTapes website. In Part 2 of my intro to Malice Fanzine you can preview issues 6 through 9. Below each zine cover I have pasted clippings of my personal favorite parts. Click on the zine covers below to view the complete zine issues. I urge you to check out the full zine issues themselves because there are lots of historic news and info items.

In the beginning the emphasis in Malice was on coverage of Hardcore Punk. Over time Phinney and his cohorts included more and more reportage of homemade music cassettes of experimental music. By the time of the ninth issue, in January 1985, Malice had almost completely transitioned to cassette culture. I have scanned and uploaded all nine issues of Malice to the HalTapes website. In this first part of my introduction to Malice Fanzine you will get a sneak peek at the first five issues. Click on the zine covers below to go to pages where you can view the complete zine issues. Below each zine cover I have pasted clippings of my favorite parts. I hope that this will serve as a good introduction to Malice, and I urge you to check out the full zine issues themselves because there are lots of historic news and info items, and lots more interviews and reviews than I found it desirable to mention here. This is just my taste in things, not necessarily yours. You might, for example, enjoy all of the top-notch comix and coverage of Hardcore Punk! This introduction to Malice is part of the ongoing effort by Chris Phinney, Jerry Kranitz and I to document Phinney's essential 1980s cassette label, Harsh Reality Music.
