Hey all,

Here's Maelstrom, issue #5. In it you'll find interviews with cult black metal one man project Leviathan, Spanish power metal group Dark Moor and Swedish black metal band Thy Primordial. We're also very pleased to present to you an exclusive discussion with former Forbidden front man, Russ Anderson.

Also in this issue is a bevy of live reports. We have two each from Wacken Open Air 2001 and Milwaukee Metalfest XV.

All this plus lots of album reviews. Enjoy!
