It doesn't matter to us how big or small your band/label is - if we think it's good, we will gladly feature it on our webzine, and you know we won't do a half-assed job. So all you underground/upcoming bands and labels out there, do not hesitate to contact us.

Well, if there were any doubts about Diabolical Conquest being a truly 'International' webzine, the exotic address ought to dispel them all. You may feel free to ask us for our site stats, I guarantee you will be impressed. Just for your information, here is a rough breakup of our readership - North America [55%], Europe [30%], and Asia and Australasia [15%].

We suggest that you ASK US before sending in your stuff, preferably with your Band site, Label site, Myspace or any link where we can check out your music. That way you are guaranteed detailed reviews and we won't feel guilty for ignoring your stuff if in the rare case it comes to that. We love you all but please bear in mind that we are all married to our full-time jobs.


Shipping cost will not run into millions. For example, a parcel sent to us via airmail from the United States containing a single CD without its case should cost only $1.80.

And that much a sensible person shouldn't mind spending on quality promotion of his quality music. You can ship your cd without its case - just use a thin cardboard slice to support it or something. Registration/Insurance/ID tracking is NOT required because your parcel will NOT get lost. Stop getting paranoid.
