Hitmen is a mainly German demo and cracking group, born as a one man group by Jihad/Action (crack) in may of 1990, which it stayed until the entire German section of Vision joined around december the same year. 1990 - Curlin (crack) joined from Vision, and Derse from Ruthless in december. News in WOW's "Internal #3" that someone named 'RAF' joined with Curlin are untrue. 1991 - Early january saw the release of "ViNews #3" by Curlin and Mad Butcher, which announced the joining of three ex-members of Internal Affairs; Hires, Mad B. and Bass. Dr.Disk changed his handle to Hermit and joined Chromance in january. Swedes Mason and Stanze joined early in the year. Jihad was interviewed for Triad "Gamers Guide #5" in the early months of the year, but then inexplicably left the group not long after...

MAG - code: Curlin, gfx: Curlin (main), Thunder (werner), DMC/Dominators (2x2 font), music: Laxity/Vibrants, editors: Mad Butcher (main), Curlin. review: First of all, this mag will get a positive response to their unorthodox design. Perhaps not all ideas are the best (what is that 'Werner' doing there guys?), but at least they have the courage to think new. Apart from that, the mag's editorial content is about normal for this kind of thing. Atleast the English is on such a levels that the news items don't confuse, like can sometimes be the case with Sex'n'Crime =] One nice section, which I'd like to see expanded is the 'crax test' (inspired by Triad's "Gamers Guide"?). If they wrote a little more about WHY one version is superior to another, instead of just giving us those meaningless numbers, this would be an interesting section. There is no mention of the music being exclusive or anything, so it was most likely ripped. To sum up, this is actually above average for these kinds of mags, where the editorial content is not really supposed to transcend the 'editorial, news + adresses' formula. [glenn] Hitmen [new] (HIT) ------------------ 1993 - Silver joined Topaz early this year. Rad joined TRC in may. Cucumber Juice (1996, 08.04, Demo). 2nd in the X96 demo competition.

Holocaust was born around july of 1990 by Exory/Unicess, who wanted to have his own cracking group. 1990 - Dave left for Tristar late in the year. Sex'n'Crime #21 [12/90] told that Exory had infact recracked Pulsar's version of "Curse of Ra", and that this was not the only instance of recracking on his part. They further printed a letter of apology they had supposedly received from Exory. They also claimed that Exory is identical to Dystan (who had at that time left the group for Trauma), and that this was his way of blaming everything on the old handle and starting over. This 'war' also meant lot of people left the group around this time. Dystan and Reconner left to form the group Trauma, Tiebreak left, and Mendrake left for Raisers, all in december.
