Created in the early-to-mid-’90s by writer Sascha Falquet—who also contributed keyboards to Behemoth’s Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) debut album—Skogen was one of the most memorable zines released during black metal’s golden years. Thoughtful and often lengthy interviews capture many of the most important bands in the underground metal scene during an era when the scene was exploding in dramatic fashion, something reflected in the often-extreme worldviews of the participants.

Now this huge, 200-page, 8.5 x 12-inch hardcover anthology combines all three issues in full, along with additional text and design by Dayal Patterson, and an interview with the zine's creator. Includes early conversations with:
