And yet another contribution, this one a bit unusual as I was sent an actual physical copy of this 'zine by comrade Kurgan, thank you! Scanned this already... months ago, can't remember when exactly, but as I did that at work the quality is better than the early ones done at home. Which is good as this is quite fancy a 'zine, especially for 1995! I hadn't read any of the previous (or possible following) issues of Witchcraft magazine from Germany so I can't say a thing about them. The issue at hand is clearly made with a certain vision and goal plus experience gained from the preceeding efforts. Too bad it's not really that good a read at least for yours truly. Certainly some of the bands and features are interesting but overall I just don't seem to connect with the editor's views here. Looks nice but leaves a shallow feeling. Again, it could be just me so please go ahead and read it with an open mind or something like that. It's pretty compact read at 36 pages and has a very readable lay-out so you might just as well read it now instead of my ramblings.

UPDATE: You might be interested to know Witchcraft Magazine is still alive and kicking, see here for more information!

Thanks brother for this! I have it already (paper magazine) and I was planning to scan it when I've have a time to do it, but not anymore :)

@GREV:

That's one thing less to do! :) Though I certainly welcome any and all 'zine scans.

Hey mate is any chance maybe you can re-up this one. I want to post Bundeswehra's "King's Return" and i am curious if it got any info about the band.

@Panacea:

Hails comrade, sorry the terribly late reply but it's reupped in case you still need it. I remember one of my old 'zines I never scanned and uploaded had also Bundeswehra interview, probably Dark Moon #3. Tommi had a site with almost all DM material online still some years ago but I can't find it anymore.

Thanks for this Velkaarn! Better late than never! I hope you are doing well man!
I will check it out and if it has anything interested info about the band i will add it in my post.

I think you re-upped the wrong zine? This seems to be Imhotep #4.

@Panacea:

Oops! That's right, I reuploaded some other 'zines as well and mixed up the links. Fixing it now!
