"25 years of Witching Metal"! Mine is the soft cover edition. I missed out the first edition of 2000 copies which is printed with hardcover and with Morbid "12 LP.

The layout is cut n paste as usual. The pages are number and have table of content. 

This is the best issue I had and it got the support from NWN on printing and distribution. I got some issues in the past which uses 'glue bind' which I hated because after a while the pages easily comes off. I like #20 format better.

What do we have in #20 beside interviews... pin-up poster of Arne, 4 pages on Jon Nodtveidt, Articles on Slayer by Ravn or Strid, Quorthon and Bathory, pictures of Euronymous (makes me recall my memories on Norwegian BM when they was too extreme) and some artwork & comics (killer one from Eva Sanne). Almost forgot, bio on 666.

The reviews are separated by format. "Demon Demos" is demo reviews, not rated (4 only) and a mini interview with Jormundgand. "Darkness Descends" is album reviews. I think the reviews are longer than I remember if compare with older issues.

I also have the Slayer Diaries book but haven't finish reading it. I think in the next few weeks will be used to read that monsterous book.
