Our French metal brother Zoltar – who joined us a couple of years back – is by definition a journalistic whirlwind – and that’s not a flippant comment… When we’re ready to collapse after a deadline, he’s already started thinking about and pitching ideas for the next one (or ten issues!). This extremely experienced writer flies the death metal flag high and wide – and we mean proper death metal, not your Rings Of Saturn types – and alongside his other contributions, curates the Altars Of Madness section and the Platters Of Splatter review column making sure extreme underground death metal maintains a regular (unhealthy) heartbeat across our pages.
