New Arrival: Metallion 67

A couple of days ago I find a mail notification in my inbox. It was written "China." I was already glad that I finally received my Kevlar gloves from Aliexpress, which I ordered back in late summer. But when the mail officer brought me a rectangular cardboard box on which the return address “Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan” was written, I only once again became convinced of the level of Russian Post.

Here is something like this
But leave this topic to other authors and move on to mine. I took my tanto knife and began to carefully cut the paper tape. The first thing that caught my eye was made really high quality. Whether it’s a typical Japanese character (doing everything exceptionally high quality), or 8 usd given for delivery (with the total cost of the order at 12,40, but this is at a discount), it’s hard to say. Nevertheless, I will not show the box, because there is too much personal information on it, and showing the opened one is the same as showing garbage.




So, after a couple of minutes of knife wielding, I saw a cover with 5 asian beauties.


In general, about the magazine we can say that for 7 usd (price without discount) it was done incredibly high quality (I'm still silent about very rare information). Now let's get acquainted with the content. We open and immediately see two familiar faces and the name “Mata Mita Koto No Nai Sekai” (which translates as “The World that I Have Not Seen”). It's funny. Near content. You can see the phrase “Special Feature” - here it's clear that these interviews are the most important. The following 12 positions can also be called important - this is noticeable in a short but very clear comment. The next 13 are all the rest. The penultimate position in the content is the photo report from live. And the last you don't need.


And the first special feature - Aldious.


They were given 10 pages for the interview, 6 pages for photos and 2 pages - a photo report from the concert on June 9, 2019. Actually, commenting on something here is difficult, since 18 pages (out of 95) of such publications are not allocated to anyone.

This is what workaholism and alcoholism look like: at 32 to look like a 50 - you need to try hard.

And the second special guest is Mary’s Blood. A redneck-style parody of Tarja Turunen immediately catches the eye. The area is also noteworthy - it's very similar to Tottori Prefecture with its famous sand dunes.


By the way, about the content of the interview. In my review of Confessions album, I noticed some kind of a too new (for this band) idea that they did work out very unusual. From the interview, I realized that everything was really not so simple there. I can’t retell it completely - copyright and all that. I just note the moment where I was in a sense right.

And the whole magazine is decorated in a similar style, the only difference is in volume. For example, I will show the most interesting (in my opinion) example - an interview with band Black Spinel.

To the right, by the way, is reverse side of poster.

There is also a live report from Sugamo Shishio (Tokyo) on July 24, 2019, where you can discover a couple of new names.


And, of course, a poster. I don’t like that the photo on the cover and the poster are the same photo. Well, apparently, celebrities don't have enough time for another photo.


At the post end, I can say that I took a decent amount of information and will use it in my posts. And in order not to miss them, I advise you to subscribe to my blog and share it - this will help me to publish articles more often.
