Agalloch interview was interesting - I guess I'm going to have to listen to my wife's Sisters of Mercy albums - I really hated them back in the day, but damned if they aren't one of the most cited bands in the interviews I've read lately. Thought it was funny he called you to task for being a muckracker.
Adding the logos to the items is a decent way to break up the articles - so I like it.
Loved the history on Liiva as alotta that shit was going down as I was going away. Very informative, nice work.
Your comments on the Blackened vox on "The Mantle" mirror my own feelings. I wonder if they'll drop them in the future. Wouldn't bother me.
Iron Savior remains an enigma for me... I have "Unification" which I rarely listen to, but they get alotta good press. Hmmm.
I need to get the Slough Feg rerelease - didn't even know they'd done a s/t.
I was very disappointed by the one track I heard from the latest Unleashed... so your skewering of them is appropriate from what little I heard. Whatta drag.
I'll take that Tzefa if no one else wanted it - just got my copy of LotFP today - I tried as fast as I could.
Liked the quickie review format, although it begs the question, how many times do you have to listen to something before you know you've given it a fair shot?
Loved your shitfest on Mayhem - although I still dunno whether or not I like GDoW.
Was glad to see you didn't like Soilent Green - they do nothing but bore me yet they get tons of fawning press.
Your comments regarding Rose Tattoo - spot on. Time waits for no man... and it goes faster than you expect it will. Trust me. Regarding "Pain" itself, it's a mostly crap record, unfortunately... loved those guys back in the day. Whatta drag.
And the best for last - no news bits!
Very good issue.
Now Jim, serious question (since you were looking for some last issue) - why do you expect bands to have righteous dedication to their art when you yourself do not devote the same to your zine by removing all typos? Is this not a double standard on your part?
You may have addressed this in the past, but if so - I missed it.
Enquiring minds wanna know... and I hope you don't site deadlines as the reason.
