Teeth Grinder #2 (2020, Denmark)
60 pg, A5 size, in English
Interviews:
Vampire, Sons of Crom, Jet Jaguar, Schizophrenia, Sorcerer, Stälker, Anatomia, Hexecutor, Fluisteraars, Gondolin Records
The first zine for me in 2021. Quite fresh issue too as this was just released in December (at the time this was uploaded which on January 2021). Which also my first purchase using Paypal after a very long time :-)
The pages are numbered with table of content provided on page 4. Very nice and clean layout with page border/frame. 1 column per page for interviews and 2 columns per page on the reviews. For some bands he uses cut n paste style which looks good if you can get it laser printed like this.
There is a blank page on Page 2. Was it intentionally made that way, I am not sure but it do looks awkward.
Questions are on average 10 to 15 questions. The questions are not the simple, straight, boring type so the answers was good. The one with Gondolin Records is the most interesting one for me.
Beside interviews there is scene report from Norilsk, Russia; article on movies by Alex Chandon in the section called "Film Portrait" (might be a regular column. Review of his movies is also in this section).
The reviews, well beside Alex Chandon movies, are only on movies (in section called The Videodrome. They are rated and has the poster of movie) and music reviews (rated, in alphabetical order but the format is not stated, cover of the release is also not available. The label releasing it is stated here though as well as the date of the release).
Before you read the Credit page on the second last page, you'll see 2020 stuff recommendation from those being interviewed here.
I was wondering who draw the artwork here while flipping the pages of this zine. Reading that in Credit page, found it was the editor himself doing the artwork, illustration and the logo. Nice.
The editor, Jakob Goul wrote what's is Teeth Grinder fanzine is about in introduction/editorial page. Limiting a fanzine to certain genre or topics, etc or not is the choice of the editor. We, the reader respected that and we read and support if we like it :-)
I am not in favour in giving rating. I can say this a good debut issue. Let see the next one, plan to release later in 2021.
