Şebek Fanzine – “Ozzy Osbourne” – Issue #60, January 25, 1998 – Turkish Edition
Description:
Şebek was an independent Turkish heavy metal fanzine published during the 1990s, focusing on heavy, thrash, death, and black metal, as well as the wider underground music scene. At a time when the internet was not yet widely accessible, it helped Turkish metal fans follow international bands, discover new releases, and stay connected with music communities that received limited coverage in mainstream media.
This Turkish-language issue, dated January 25, 1998, is the 60th issue of Şebek and features Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary vocalist of Black Sabbath, on the cover. The magazine includes a detailed history of Black Sabbath, exploring the band’s career and lineup changes. Known as one of heavy metal’s most recognizable figures, Ozzy Osbourne makes this issue particularly appealing to collectors interested in classic metal and the history of Black Sabbath.
The “Asiberler” section covers Iron Maiden’s forthcoming album Virtual XI, scheduled for release in March 1998, including its track listing. The issue also features current news related to Slayer and the period surrounding their album Seasons in the Abyss, along with additional coverage of Venom. Combining a classic metal icon on the cover with band histories and album news, this issue offers a snapshot of the international metal scene as covered by Turkey’s underground press in the late 1990s.
