I've been a fan of Dennis Dread's art since I first started to pay attention to his work illustrating albums for bands like Darkthrone, but wasn't aware that he also did a sporadically published zine called Destroying Angels until I began following his blog. In fact, the latest issue of the zine had already sold out of it's print run when I learned of it, but luckily Dennis decided to do a second printing of issue ten, allowing us to get on board with this fantastic zine that focuses on all things related to art and underground metal. A must for fans of old school metal album art, Destroying Angels features writings on both legendary and obscure artists that have influenced Dennis's own pursuits in illustration, thoughtful interviews with figures in the underground, and of course, lots and lots of juicy, gruesome artwork to feast your eyes upon. As soon as you lay eyes on issue ten of Destroying Angels, you're greeted by a raging skeletal thrash maniac leaping off of the front cover in glorious 3-D, glasses included (there's another killer 3-D piece on the back cover). Inside, you get fifty pages of lengthy, well-written interviews with Jos A. Smith, the fine artist who was responsible for creating the goat image that Bathory stole for their iconic album cover; the 3-D illustrator Ray Zone; French metal-centric cartoonist Julien "Nagawika" Le Guennec; and Polish metal album illustrator Jowita Kaminska. There's a lengthy tribute to the famed fantasy artist Frank Frazetta written by Dennis, a reprint of Pushead's "Puszone" column from Maximum Rock & Roll,an in-depth piece on the underground comic artist Jim Osborne, and much more. Lots of stuff to chew on here, and for anyone like us who is often just as obsessed with the artwork and imagery of metal albums as we are the music itself, this is a fantastic read.
