Finally found the latest issue of Close-Up Magazine at a Pressbyrån. Thanks for the tip fsgdjv. Interesting interview (this board was mentioned btw). Nice pictuers. Still reading through the review section.

 

[Cronopio]

You're joking, right?

there is no magazine. Its all an elaborate hoax to get our attention and hopes up only to disappoint us in the end.

Since I as stated don't have a scanner, I just took some snaps with my camera:

[Blackwater Demon]

[Taran]

Thanks!
Nice picture of Mike on the last page

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Nice, truly. Though not as amazing as I belived picturewise.

 

[Kalabalik]

Thank you! I'm still willing to translate a few pages if someone can scan them

 

[noura]

No translations yet? That's just mean...

I spent 2 fucking hours on that French!

 

[Taran]

Wow the reviews of the previous albums seem to be very long

 

[Stilgar]

I can translate parts of it when I get some spare time. However, it's not easy to find much spare time with a feature freeze coming up at work and having two lively kids at home that demand the attention of papa when he's finally home. I might get in a few sentences a day though.

^Not to mention all the time spent running around naked being a berzerker.

^Not to mention all the time spent running around naked being a berzerker.

True. That part is hard work.

Got the intro page translated at least while waiting for the bus. I will do some more when I have time.

What do you get if you've released praised, progressive death metal through the same band since 1995?
You get mail that wishes you'll get cancer.
- There's a fine line between hate and love, says OPETHs front man Mikael Åkerfeldt before the watershed "Watershed".
