Feed The Beast Issue 3 (2021)
68 pg, A4 size, in English, pro-printed

Interviews
Proscrito, Charnel Altar, Vanhelgd, Filthgrave, Sartegos, Binah, Desaster

My first issue of Feed the Beast. Thick issue (and so does the paper type). This is not the usual zine I have witness especially on the layout. Before the interview starts Ipp (the editor) present 1 full page of picture. Beside this page will have band's name with very short introduction and the bottom of this page is the band's discography only with lots of empty space. Flip to the next page you will see the interview.

Another new thing for me is the layout is not the same for every bands:
- Proscrito in cut n paste style
- Charnel Altar in normal 2 columns per page (white text, black background)
- Vanhelgd in normal 2 columns per page (not actually 2 columns, anyway...) on dark grey background with lots of pictures
- Filthgrave in normal 2 or 3 columns but uses 'ancient' looking font
- Sartegos in 3 columns per page, uses different font type and small font size with frame/ page border
- Binah; looks like a comic (weird one. never seen zine like this before)
- Desaster normal 2 columns, several font types used with some quotes at the bottom of the page

The interviews always starts with "Shalom..". The questions are like dissecting every aspect on the band's release, even why the frame is using such color in the artwork is being asked. You will never find same questions asked twice to other bands.

No editorial, no page number, no table of content and no reviews or articles. Contact address can be found on Desaster's special page.

And yes, DESASTER the highlight of the issue. Very in-depth interviews also feature the band's logo from the beginning till now and reprint of their old flyers included too together with a nice pouch to put them. Nicely done. Very long chat with Infernal, Tormentor, and logo master Christophe Szpajdel. 24 pages if I count it right and sadly, this to be continued in the next issue.

Nicely done issue! Now my hands are itchy to get their previous issues.
