Atmosfear's 24th number will spoil its loyal readers with even more pages, increasing from 124 to 152.

In addition, you can explore reviews on 15 pages plus read an article about Coyote Brutal Fest - 13. Don't you think such a huge amount of material speaks for the level of the magazine itself? Well, definitely yes! This is by all means a professional magazine executed by a professional staff. The pages are glossy and come with high-quality typographical print, easily readable font type/size and as usual brought to you in Russian language. As you've already realized, you can bump there into famous bands as well as into totally unknown ones, which I believe is a good combination in terms of variety. There are also 35 pages filled exclusively with advertisements. Quite a lot one would say, but that's the way it works lately! Well, there is really no point in further polishing, if you still prefer to read the hard copies instead of the virtual ones, then simply order it, you won't be disappointed!!!

Let's dissect the content of the 25th number. It has 144 pages packed with the following interviews: Lordi, Monolithe, Runemagick, Stigmatic Chorus, Омела, Adfail, Ulcerate, Squash Bowels, Fecality, Blood Pollution, Endimion, Elffor, Moon Far Away, Grift, Deface, Saor, Bewailer, Pyogenesis, Shades of Deep Water, Sjodogg, Blaze of Perdition, Zifir, Yaldabaoth, Perfect Crime, Borgne, Fleshcrawl, Ross the Boss, Shadow Rebels, Liquid Viscera, Navjarmaahr, Necronomicon, In Oblivion, Crystal Viper, Feralia, Officium Triste, Deviant Syndrome, 3000AD, Grave Circles, Lucifer's Dungeon, Waxen, Морок, Vofa, Животная Радость, Silvered, Almanac, Moribund Sun, Reveal!, Lychgate, Nyrst, Oblivion Beach, Grind Заебись Party, Dwaal, Second to Sun, Statist, Black Curse, Pathogen, Obscura Qalma, Путь, T.O.M.B., Silentium, Aura, Haissem, Svart Lotus, Chamber of Torture, Forndom, Psychosurgical Intervention, Sons of a Wanted Man, Sorgelig, The Projectionist. To my surprise, there are plenty of reviews written on old releases in this number. I don't have any problem with this, just recalled their earlier strategy, which meant only the fresh releases to be reviewed. Well, times are changing. There are 18 review pages in total plus an article about Coyote Brutal Fest 14. Still missing the editor's introduction, which I believe is a must for any printed publication. Furthermore, I think the more than 30 full pages used for advertising ads are too much. It will kinda turn the magazine into another direction. This number like all its predecessors is still fully written in Russian language, except one interview, which comes in Ukrainian. To be honest, I don't think that Atmosfear will gonna change once its content to Ukrainian, as for example Terroraiser magazine did in the beginning of this year, but you never know, time shall tell us...

Parát magazine from the Czech Republic started its activity in the year of 2000 as a xeroxed black & white 'zine. Since the passed time it evolved into a marvelous full-colored typographic edition with a superior print quality and design respectively. The 90th issue has 60 pages packed with stylish interviews of Mayhem, V.A.R., Ragnarok, Sorcery, Machine Head (25 years of "Burn My Eyes"), Hour of Penance, Karel "Bendík" Beneš aka Akharon (Dead Carnage, ex-Adultery, ex-Grope for Thesis, ex-Parasophisma, ex-Rhea, ex-Silva Nigra, ex-Vesna), Abortion, Praselizer, Jirí "Skuny" Sládek (Shatoon, ex-Sad Harmony, ex-Abaddon, ex-Cales), Denial of God, PRC Music, Konkhra, Absentation, Runemagick, Wolf Counsel, Novembers Doom, Jirí "Panthera" Rosa (Tortharry, Final Flag, ex-Brilien), Kornel Kontros (Castrum, Unfocused), Nocturnal and Golgotha. Furthermore, you can read what Peter Lengsfeld (Abstract) had to say regarding all the songs of "Lightheory", thereafter to explore in details two retrospective articles (the first is dedicated to Michal Cichý (R.I.P.) and Cerebral Turbulency, while the second one is to Bathory) and to get acquainted in short with the stories of Quercus and In the Abyss (both included in the section called "profilace"). Then you have the chance to dive deep into reviews on recent releases and to analyze them within 8 pages. This number also includes 4 mega posters of A2 format (1349, In the Abyss, Cannibal Corpse, Protector) plus a bonus CD with V.A.R.'s "...Temná" album. To sum it up: it's a super professional and flawless publication, which I would maximally advise to anyone, but especially to those who familiar with the Czech language!!!

The 93rd number of Parát magazine keeps pampering its committed readers in full swing. You can read there remarkable interviews with Deranged, M.S.R., Darktimes, Azure Emote, Funeralia, Thanatos, Crematory, Insepultus, Pothead, God Dethroned, Devangelic, Naglfar, Assassin, Postcards from Arkham, Wardaemonic, Nyrst, Necrodeath, Thokkian Vortex, Havok, My Dying Bride, Luctus and Necrophiliac. Afterwards you can bump into an article about Dissolving of Prodigy's "Echoes of My Sadness" reissue, in the "Profilace" chapter you'll be informed regarding the short stories of Apostles of Perversion and Imperial Age, there's also a great retrospective conversation with Juraj Harín about the Rock Extremum years, a label story (Punishment 18 Records) and a special interview with Petr "Haboš" Haberland (Deep Throat) on his job at the zoo. The usual dose of reviews is 45 (8 pages) and they are written solely on the fresh releases of 2020, except one, which is dated 2019. Like before it has 60 full-colored, glossy pages of the highest print quality possible, fully written in Czech language and as bonuses there are four A2 format posters (Crematory, Pothead, Vader, Purnama) and a compilation CD of M.S.R. that features two of their albums and five live tracks. Warmly recommended magazine!!!

OK, let's see what do we have inside the 79th number of Terroraiser magazine. The list of interviewed bands/individuals is as follows: Батюшка, Memoriam, Nocturnus AD, D-A-D, Tanzwut, Kryptos, Sacrilege, (Echo), Fvneral Fvkk, Sinful, Forgotten, Aborted Fetus, Hypnos, Ravenblood, Ornamentos del Miedo, Doug Piercy, Fusion Bomb, Critical Extravasation, Труповозка. Then we have festival articles about Wacken Open Air, Metal East, Brutal Assault and Bang Your Head, four pages filled with reviews, some advertisment pages and a double photo page dedicated to Kiss' visit to Kyiv. This number, likewise its predecessors, will keep you busy for a good couple of hours and the well-readable font size will give comfort for your eyes. In terms of page numbers (48 in total) and quality/design we have no changes occurred there and the 4 issues per year are also stable from their side. What else? Well, the constant readers of Terroraiser know that this publication has been always printed in Russian language, so you need to know that language on at least average level to enjoy its content. My fave chats in this number were with Mike of Nocturnus AD, Bruno of Hypnos and Scott of Memoriam. Remember, printed magazines still rule, so don't be a lazy ass even in the era of the virtual insanity, instead order your own copy and have a pleasant read!!!

In the fourth and last number for 2019 you can investigate interviews of Bestial Invasion, Андрей Смирнов (U.D.O.), Primordial, Tesseract, Crystal Viper, Esoteric, Novembers Doom, Isole, Possessed, Zaum, Heilung, Mortem, Hell:On, Damir (Destruction), Wreck-Defy, Bewailer, Mesmur, Torn Apart, M.O.S.S., Hatecrime, Zeni Geva, Pantheon and Absence Betrayal. All of them turned out to be really interesting and informative in one or another way, therefore they will guarantee a pleasant pastime for the reader. There are also 6 pages filled with reviews on the latest underground products. To me this part is the most important one in any magazine or fanzine, because it reflects how dedicated, skilled and creative are its writers. And to be honest, I really enjoy the way Thrashmentor, the chief editor, reviews/describes the materials he gets. The same goes to the introductory part, which tries to be always up to date with the music industry, its actual ups and downs. This number has around 11 advertisement pages and at the end you can also read a classy article about the Vinnitsa show of Hypnos, Fleshgore and Revolt that took place on the 10th of October, 2019. As usual its content is written in Russian and provided on 48 (A4 format) pages with top notch quality. Buy or die!!!

Let me tell you at once that this is the first issue of Terroraiser magazine that comes fully in Ukrainian language. Great improvement for sure. The introduction says that there's still parallelly a second version available in Russian language, but honestly I think it is unnecessary anymore. Content-wise we have also some great upgrades, like the addition of vinyl and book reviews. Still missing the reviews on magazines, fanzines and cassettes, but let's hope that section will be also added shortly. In the actual issue you can read interviews with Pyogenesis, My Dying Bride, Space of Variations, Vltimas, Fleshcrawl, Bowel Stew, S.D.I., Tristitia, Empheris, Tarthak, Towards Darkness, The Drowning, Anmasker, Blood Pollution, Septicflesh, Mass Madness, Blood Tsunami, Voroth, Brud, Fernando Ribeiro (Moonspell), Dayal Patterson (Cult Never Dies) and Randy Burns. All the interviews were very well adapted to Ukrainian, so I think it will work out for them in the future likewise! As the review sections have been refreshed and broadened a bit, this time you can enjoy them on 11 pages. The quality and the design of the print are untouched and as it was used for a couple of years now it comes on 48 glossy A4 format pages. Nice job!!!

This is the number that marks the 25th anniversary of Terroraiser magazine. I think Thrashmentor & Co. are the only ones who can be proud of a quarter century history on the territory of Ukraine. Of course, there are other good and old publications in Ukraine, but none of them can boast of so many numbers and such a long existence. Hats off and huge respect for the endurance!!! This jubilee number collects the next interviews: Alcest, Ross the Boss, Bonfire, Rage, Serious Black, Bonded, Godflesh, Edgeflame, Angellore, Insidious Disease, Galvanizer, Statist, Eyeless in Gaza, Cephalic Impurity, Soliloquium, Школа Рока, Sunset Forsaken and Unholy. As you may see by the different band names the musical palette is rather variegated there. The same goes to the reviews' sections, where you can find surveys on 172 releases from the present and past times too. And finally cassette reviews have been also presented there, though in a small amount, but truly happy about this addition. With each number this publication gets better and more improved, thus can't wait to read the next issue and discover further changes therein. As its predecessor it's fully written in Ukrainian language and printed on 48 pages of A4 format. Oh, almost forgot, there's also an article about the Coyote Brutal Fest – 14. Well, let's celebrate this special jubilee of Terroraiser together. Support the magazine by buying their latest numbers and spread the word!!!

Terroraiser keeps on releasing four numbers per year as planned. So here it is, the third one for 2020. Print-quality-wise it remained the same, but the number of pages have been extended to 56. To me it was quite interesting and motivating to read the interviews with Mercyless, Napalm Death and Onslaught, though the other interviews were done in a pretty decent way as well. So you can read the latest news and plans for the future from HammerFall, ThunderMother, DevilDriver, Havok, Stoned Jesus, Kamelot, Vanishing Point, Grace Disgraced, Crematory, Putrid Offal, Defeated Sanity, Corpse Worship, Psychosurgical Intervention, Les Mémoires Fall, Marche Funèbre, Shattered Hope, The Funeral Orchestra, Черноявь, Aura Noir, Morbidity and Sibireal. The reviews have been divided to the following sections: Album of the season, CD, live releases, re-releases, vinyl, tape and DIY-releases. They are getting varied and expanded with each number, which is a definitely cool thing. There are 18 pages in total filled with reviews. Most of them written in a laconic way, but still giving the reader an optimal overview on the chosen release. Definitely good job lays in there! The number of advertising pages is about ten and that's a really good ratio in comparison to 56. Its format is still A4, the language is remained Ukrainian, what else do you need? Get it right away and enjoy the printed way!!!
