We talked about this magazine once before when they featured Luzmelt in their first issue over here. Now they are back with issue number two and the cover artist is another Starwave band, the fool. There is also a feature of Luzmelt at their first US appearance, Aural Vampire and Suicide Ali. The issue comes out on July 1st so keep your eyes open for more info.
