I’m glad Tadas didn’t quit the metal-scene after he stopped one of the best zines of the world: Ledo Takas. I see Tadas as an editor with a lot of knowledge when it comes down to metal, and when you have read the issues of Ledo Takas you will know what I mean. Ad Arma! is a black/white zine made by Tadas and a certain Mr. Northwind and is filled with reviews of top notch quality.
And that’s why I bought this zine, it seems that everything what Tadas does have a quality result. The interviews with Varathron and Necromantia are a must to read if you like both bands, Tadas and Northwind are showing top notch interview styles. Reading the interviews you can see that Northwind is more into non musical subjects like culture and Tadas is more band focussed.
It will not be a shock to you that I prefer the interviews Tadas did, altough Northwind did one hell of a job with Varathron: truly an interview to be proud of. Ad Arma! is also a zine for non narrow minded people, as bands like Manes and Thorns also have their spot in this zine. For you only interested in reviews this zine will also be a good one to order. 42 pages full of demo, vinyl, zine and album reviews, especially the first three sections I mention are remarkable as there alot of reviews in those sections. Something a lot of other zines are not capable of filling such sections.
To wrap this one up; you will buy one of the best zines around when you will buy a copy of Ad Arma!
