The second issue continues in the same styles as the first issue. Layout is different for every band, no band picture/logo (with exception for Lucifericon because there is logo on the cover artwork), no review/article, no editorial, the pages are numbered but no table of content, interviews are dated.

I think I wrote a lot on the layout is issue 1. Not going to do that now. Layout-wise nothing to complaint about since all is good if not great especially when you are already familiar with his style. Maybe it is a bit strange looking at 2 blank black pages (with a bit of intro at the bottom) but it is changed in the next issue (using picture instead).

The interviews are interesting read as well. There is never the same question asked to different bands. Ultra Silvam is the shortest in 2 pages. Vircolac is longest and the most interesting one to read. I am not saying the rest is not! I am having difficulty to imagine how the Verberis "Vorant Gnosis" album sleeve look like even after the said artwork featured in 3 pages (the editor also interviewed the artist for more explanation).

Minenfeld is reading an old newspaper (of course it is layout as such) and might have real news from 1917 in between the interviews. Mirror Of Deception starts of funny with them asking back question and the editor replies.

Lucifericon interviews are academic, discussing on the symbols/sigil and occultism.

Looking forward to the fourth issue!
