I can not say that I like to read magazines - in our time a lot of information can be found on various Internet resources. But there are some specific topics for which it is worth buying magazines. One of these magazines came to me on November 3.
I want to warn you that I will not describe everything - one blog entry is not enough for this. And also I will not fully disclose the interviews - this is an exclusive content and for this they can easily be banned from Google AdSense. I don't want it. Therefore, I will only briefly retell what I paid attention to and set forth some of my thoughts. So, let's begin.
And start with cover - here you can see band Aldious. And the first interview is also with this band. This has already become a kind of tradition - it's difficult to overestimate the influence of this band on Japanese metal scene. It's not strange, there are no details about new album. Here, mainly discussed the album We Are. And I can say that everything is exactly as I expected.

Next you can see Mary’s Blood. This, too, can be understood - if there are worthy successors to Destrose, then that girls is for sure. But here is a discussion of the new DVD. Yes, there is also a small discussion of the new album, but most of the questions concern the new DVD.
Next pages are Lovebites. However, it would be strange not to include this band here after performing at the world's largest metal fest. If anyone missed - they performed at Wacken Open Air. This is the only topic that was discussed in the interview. But I am still amused by one fact: Aldious and Lovebites never stand together. Even in this issue of magazine. Okay, the last photo, where Yoshi and Miya are together, dated November 2013. Although it would seem very similar projects. Yes, the relationship between Yoshi and Miya is a special topic, but we are now discussing the magazine.
Next - Marina Hebiishi. I noticed that at the photo shoots she was always with any weapon. Initially, when she was just kicked out of Destrose, it was a katana. Probably, the habit of fantasy images has not yet passed. Perhaps this is a great reference to song “Sword Of Avenger”, the author of which is Marina. But now something that looks like a Makarov pistol. The interview discusses the new album. In the album, sound is significantly different from the previous releases - I wrote this in review.
The magazine continues on something red. Red rabbit Narumi. She has already told a lot about herself in the 55th interview. So now all the interview comes down to a discussion of the new solo album. However, they did not forget about participation in Rami solo project either. The only thing I want to say about the interview is that her solo album is much deeper than I expected.
But who I really didn’t expect to see was Haru from Velatria. However, despite the neutral (bordering on negative) review, I saw great talent among these guys. And judging by the fact that they cooperate with Black-Listed Production, I was not mistaken. Moreover, it's interesting one thing: initially, Haru had a very seductive look, and the other members also tried to make a beautiful appearance - this is noticeable in first MV. Now the look looks like a regular without something pompous. Apparently, now these guys are betting on skill without fizzy wordings in lirycs and motley appearance. Also, based on what was said in interview, I think it would be interesting for me to listen to their new release.
And they decided to complete the magazine on a young talent Li-sa-X, which became reallynoticeable only this year. At the beginning she says that her father is also an guitarist. Also a little discussion about solo album.
There is also a special report from a concert on July 29, 2018 in Kichijoji Crescendo. It tells about a few bands. Alvarez - boring. Bakudan Kokiatsu is a band of former Galmet drummer. I did not see prospects here and I don't think that something will change in the future. RiViNi - good, but boring. Velvet Cherry - I don’t even want to discuss.
Yes, there is still a lot of interesting things, but I decided to highlight only some points.
