Metal Storm #3 (Aug. 2008)

Metal Storm #3 (Aug. 2008)

92 pg, A4, pro-print, English

Interview

Ares Kingdom, Nocturnal Graves, Desaster, Witchmaster, Pentacle, Infernal Majesty, Old, Midnight

The third issue follows what you can see from issue #2. Cut n paste style. Lots of pictures used and these pictures are related with what being said in the interview just like #2. There are pictures of metal head buying #2. Good job again by Hellthrasher!

And the same goes to the content. The interviews are very long, 30+ questions being asked (that's lots of research made on the bands). 14 pages on Pentacle alone. 

And the gig report is interesting as usual too. This time a comprehensive day by day report of Wacken and Party San. Massive 22 pages!

Album reviews are rated. More stuffs now and in the same style. The editor already said "no point in reviewing useless shit", so dont expect too many reviews. Some reviews are in 1 full page (normal desktop layout, not cut n paste which mean the review is very long). Also added now demo reviews in cut n paste style. These are not rated but includes duration of the demo playtime. Whether it is tape or CD-R format, not clearly mention in the reviews though.

Other than these, there is "Hell Metal Artillery" section which is address and logo of labels which is quite cool to look at. And lastly hand-written notes in inside back cover by Hellthrasher. 

I have no other info about this great zine except for some from their website saying issue #4 was out in 2010. I missed out this issue.
