  • Oldschool Metal Maniac …

     Hello Thortsen! Leszek from „Oldschool Metal Maniac” Magazine here. We’re small, independent Metal magazine from Kraków, Poland, dealing mainly with older and newer bands faithful to the traditions of the music we all know and love (mainly Oldschool Metal . As long as the whole thing has it’s heart and soul in the Old Days, we’re into it), that’s why we dicided to write to You, as your influence upon the today’s face of Metal is hardly arguable. We come out twice a year, all in English, professionally printed and with high-quality graphics, doing our best to keep the visual side unique (less published photos, special collages etc.), that we’d like to ask you for an interview for our magazine, as we’re long time fans of your music and it would be an honour for us to have you on our pages. Let me know if you’re interested. Die hard! oldschool_metal_maniac@wp.pl www.myspace.com/oldschoolmetalmaniac
