Isten Fanzine Churches (2017)

 







Isten Fanzine Churches (2017)
100 pages, 21cs x 21cm, English, pro-printed

I couldn't find the reason of this publication is made. Some words written at the back cover mention "An ABC book for both builders and burners in all the glorious colours of rust and soot".

It is not in the interview/answer style like normal zine. It is a series of answers made or arranged into articles and divided into several chapters. No photo of the bands/individuals, just drawing of them with lots of pictures of buildings, structures which I think from around Finland. And no reviews either.

These chapters talk about music. I couldn't find the relation of the Chapter's title with the content inside the chapter (they didn't talk about Iron Maiden either).

Below are the individuals featured in this book. You may find them in several chapters talking on certain topics:

Mikko Aspa (Clandestine Blaze)
Ville Pirinen (Seremonia)
Werwolf (Satanic Warmaster)
Mikael Haavisto (Ranger)
Jori von Meriläinen (Gentry Lord)
Ulla Ahola (M.O.R.A.)
Yaki (M.O.R.A.)
Amel Khelif (M.O.R.A.)
Ville Valavuo (Speedtrap)
Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle)
Sami Harju (Pacto De Sangre)
Mat McNerney (Grave Pleasures/Hexvessel)
Sisli (Fosforos)
Jussi Pitkänen (Fosforos)
Jari Kelloniemi, Tenho Kareen, Vesa Säkkinen (A.R.G.)

Jonatan Johansson (Vorum)
Maria Mattila (Mara Balls)
Kari Rajala (Warp Transmission)
Teemu Bergman (Myrkky-Käärme)
Kimmo Kuusniemi (Sarcofagus)

The chapters are:
Chapter One: Where Eagles Dare
Chapter Two: Revelations
Chapter Three: Flight of Icarus
Chapter Four: Die With Your Boots On
Chapter Five: The Trooper
Chapter Six: Still Life
Chapter Seven: Quest for Life
Chapter Eight: Sun And Steel

The contents are good. Interesting topics being discussed. This is Isten!
