The price is either £2 or 2EURO plus postage where necessary. No point charging an extra 20 odd cents seeing as the pound and the euro are so close now. Below is a list of featured articles.
Interviews with;
Mourning Beloveth [veteran Death/Doom band]
Nemtheanga (Primordial/Plagued) [the standard-bearer of Irish Metal and Pagan Black Metal worldwide]
Altar Of Plagues [sublime post-Black Metal, like Cult Of Luna meets Ulver]
Geasa [folky Black Metal kings with goth and punk influences on the new album]
Wreck Of The Hesperus [filthy Doom from the dublin sewers]
Chambercraft [very individual misanthropic solo-BM project]
Visceral Attack [awesome Thrash revival band]
Heinrichreich [German/Slovak solo BM project based in Ireland; sounds like a mix of Taake and Graveland]
Caro Maledicta [pure UG theistic Satanism]
Christorgy [humorous satirical Black/Grind]
Nocturnal Holocaust [very trad Pagan leaning BM from Cork]
Beithíoch [very obscure ambient BM- very anti-commerce and primitivist ideology]
Morke [tranquil one-woman ambient project]
