Austria's No.1 Extreme Music Zine! That's the tagline. And this is the first Austrian publication in Bloodstained Vision. I saw it is printed on the front page "Europe: Free. Rest of the World: $1.50". Nice! But I bought this at RM30 thru some distro.
Layouts are 2 column per page, small font size, in full color. Fancy, typical magazine layout. It’s like having a half size Terrorizer Mag. No complaint on the layout.
Interviews are short, like 10 questions and consumed 1 page but it is nicely layout with pictures. The band's name & country of origin is written (mostly) at the top of page.
Reviews are not alphabetically arranged and not rated.
"The Undead Rise" is section for new underground bands which feature the bands info/short biography.
The last interview before the zine ends is the section called "The Last Supper". I think the concept for this column is about after reading the questions is on the individual being featured, not the bands or projects he/she is in. This issue featured the late Brett Hoffmann of Malevolent Creation.
This issue also comes with a CD sampler with 15 bands. Some of the releases of the bands featured is distributed by them as well.
The website is not working anymore. Would be great to know if the editor Manuel Rainer still run this zine or has any other projects.
