Grave Concerns E-zine is updated on a weekly basis and has gone through many changes to keep up with the scene and times. At first, Julie Johnson managed Grave Concerns by herself from 1999 until 2003, than she added her first few staff members, Joshua Heinrich, Marcos Massarri, and Matthew Johnson. Now, in 2007 there is a staff of 12 that help make the E-zine what it is today. The GC staff is located throughout the United States and United Kingdom. GC is always open to new volunteers to join our staff. Grave Concerns E-zine is a non-profit E-zine at this time and we do this all for the love of the music and scene. Grave Concerns has done many giveaways, contests, sponsorships, shows, and other promotions since 1999. We have sent in items for giveaways at special events and have gone to many events to hand out free promotional items. You will often see members of the Grave Concerns E-zine staff covering small shows and major tours, from NIN, Bauhaus, KMFDM, Brainclaw, VNV Nation, Combichrist, The Cruxshadows, to Lamb of God and Slayer.

Grave Concerns E-zine can be seen in the following books: Indie Bible and 21st Century Goth - written by Mick Mercer. Our name and logo also have been seen in many compilations and many albums over the years. Thank you for your support. Since the start of the Grave Concerns E-zine, the site has gone through 4 web-designs and upgrades to keep up with the times and site growth. Joshua Heinrich did 2 amazing designs, one in 2003, (which took the place of Julie Johnson’s original version) and again in 2005. Recently, in 2007 Grave Concerns E-zine has upgraded to mysql and is running on a database system.

Grave Concerns has now officially released their first electronic issue which is be powered by ISSUU on March 3rd, 2010. We are very excited to be able to offer this format to our readers and fans. We will continue be update our site with our normal news, reviews and interviews weekly in addition to the electronic versions. We will be publishing four issues during the year. The first issue is going to be a “Best of Grave Concerns E-zine 2009”. The electronic issue features reviews, interviews from 2009 along with some new features that are found on the website.
