Interviews, reviews & profiles
Shortly after the release of issue #1, number 2 had already arrived from the printers. I’ve already covered the history of ‘The Medieval Hagiography’, in my previous review, so I won’t go into detail again. However, it’s clear that returning after many years has sparked a lot of energy.
One of the layout issues I mentioned previously has been resolved: the pages are now divided into two columns, making the text alignment around images and album covers much smoother. t’s a good move that makes it more enjoyable to read.
As before, the focus stays on the Dutch and Belgian scenes, with Bad Omen, Suttungr, Hellevaerder, Asgrauw, Wolfkult Religion, and Sammath fly the Dutch flag, and De Pankraker, Matavitatau, and Sinflower Apparel, a brand with a a focus on Satanic images, representing Belgium. But acts from another countries like Balmog or Sardonic Witchery are also interviewed. Once again, several interviews feature in-depth questions that result in long answers, such as those with De Pankraker and Wolfkult Religion, which highlight both the label and the person in charge.
Issue #2 continues where #1 left off but with a few layout improvements. Meanwhile, work on #3 is in progress and should be out soon, as March was the target. Hopefully, it will be another step forward.
