Literature

The Italian Issue, this latest issue of Chips & Beer following their tragic accident is C&B’s longest issue yet at a whopping 138 pages (front and back covers included).  So that means it’s a little heavier weight wise (it’s what happens when you eat a lot of pasta and bread).  This time around you get Dark Quarterer, Mortuary Drape, Bulldozer, Death SS, Moss, Bitch, Bone Sickness, Borrowed Time, Morbus Chron, Tony Tears, Inisians, Lester Maddox, Longmont Potion Castle, a primer on Tinto Brass films, Italian Sword & Sorcery films, comics, reviews and a lot more mania.

Chips & Beer Magazine #4 clocks in at 128 Pages. This is the Satanic Panic special featuring Sinister Sinema and OST special section, and interviews and pieces on Bob Daisley (guy responsible for writing most of the music and lyrics on all the Ozzy album up until “No More Tears”), Teitanblood, Degial, Paolo Girardi, Rev. Kriss Hades, Jay Chattaway, William Lustig, tons of comics, reviews and other shit. The best underground mag in existence today.

“Another 120 pages of mayhem featuring the New Yawk Metal Special with Twisted Sister, Ross The Boss, Frigid Bich, Dan Lilker, Slipped Disc Records and write ups on Kiss, Cro Mags, Riot, B.O.C. and many others. Also featured are Ares Kingdom, Cauldron Black Ram, Krypts, Swallowed, Weapon, Chris Black from High Spirits, Dawnbringer, Pharaoh and others. And all the usual columns, illustration madness, reviews, shit talkin’, mud slingin’, hatin’ for no good god reason that you need in your miserable excuse for a life.”
