Virgin with
the number six and the best King Wolle’s work so far beyond the shadow of a
doubt. With the biggest amount of pages filled by true metal only. I’m not
surprised as the editor has been faithful to his convictions and beliefs since
the very beginning. And if the opening Japanese Barbatos is just ok, the next
one Dekapitator seems to be best chat in whole desecrated virgin’s family due
to veeery long and interesting (!) answers of Wes, everything can be read in
the same breath, believe me. With no time to rest another great intie strikes
my eyes, namely Mr. Corchado and The Chasm. And I could mention here
Clandestine Blaze, Desaster (did they give a laconic and boring intie
anytime???) asked by Peruvian guest Roy Elgueara from Anal Vomit. Then heavy
metal glares proudly amongst pages: the Russian Aria done by Johann Jurtaikin –
simply great talk with Владимир Холстинин, in addition it was like a flashing
point for me to enter the kingdom of this amazing band. If some guests are
given, it is a need to mention another one Bart Gabriel who provided really
good chats with two Polish legends Kat and Stos, besides the Malaysian Break the
Silence and Hirax – yep, these interviews pumped a fresh blood into the
desecrated flesh.
Well,
looking through the content it’s quite easy to state that everything has just superior
quality as compared to the previous works, maybe the English itself didn’t turn
into decidedly better. For sure the reviews of the underground press became
longer and more informative closing up in 28 pieces. The musical side is richer
as well with 155 as the whole number including Ancient Cult releases naturally.
In addition King served three live reports and showed one newsletter concerning
exotic (as always) and totally underground bands done by Gorehound. And summing
all the things up: this zine really kicked my ass delivering many sense
desecrating whiles. Unfortunately this is my last adventure with the virgin’s
flesh, as somehow I missed the final shot of King, impossible to get it now, I
guess…
