Another old-school layout zine. 2 columns per page with frame/page border artworks. Pages numbered, with table of content.

Music reviews are alphabetically arranged, not rated and the formats is stated in the review. Zine review is only 1 page and also not alphabetically arranged and not rated.

After the Carrion Zine (old Finnish zine!) interview, Antti Luukkanen wrote about what he recalled during the 90's gig with bands like Darkthrone, Beherit, Old Funeral. Great to read this page.

I wish the real picture of Annica is used, instead of that zombie artwork. No offense to Tomi and his artwork. They are great (first time ever I read the artwork given space like an editorial to say few words. Great way to honor the artist). But also, better to have actual picture too since someone might be too lazy to google. hah!

Another thing to mention Axeslaughter & Pyoveli are not interviews. Axeslaughter took 1 page to review wine while 1 page for  Pyoveli for their drinking games.

The editor of this zine, simply named J, is very active. J have other zines (Ajatuksen Valo, punk zine which is J's main zine) and started another Doom/Sludge-oriented zine.
