Isten 100

Some 18 months later, out of this angle emerges Isten 100. A pungent view, an ark of venom. A control commission to the Devil’s work.

We interrogate Morbid Angel, Darkthrone, The Haunted, Pentacle, Unholy, Twisted Tower Dire, Choronzon as well as old scene beans Metalion of Slayer Magazine/Head Not Found and Roberto Mammarella of Avantgarde Music/ Monumentum/Cultus Sanguine.

We pay homage to Derek Riggs. We tell you everything you'll ever need to know about JRR Tolkien and black metal. And we present you with an absolutely wicked tabletop game The Scene.


In 1997’s Isten: Twin Sister we wrote: "If heavy metal* doesn’t exist here and now, it doesn’t exist at all. We should continuously question the justification of our existence in heavy metal, and in the underground."

	Heavy metal, when it’s great, is alive even when it’s dead. Most of what passes for metal today is something you "support" – as opposed to living it, breathing it, shitting it. Here, now, is a chance to at least read it. If you want to order Isten 100 or other available Istens, please read the ordering instructions. Thank you.

*) As in loud guitar-driven metallic music - dead heavy, bone hard, heartfelt and no-holds-barred, whether it be trad-obligingly melodic, teutonikally thrashy, groovadelically doomy or charcoal black.
