After six months of intensive work on two issues of our magazine finally the time has come for its paper version.

The magazine, which will contain 148 pages and includes professional articles.

This is the special moment for us, and everything is thanks to YOU, because you convinced us that the magazine should be published. Off course the initiative itself wouldn’t happen without the strategic partner, who believed in it. Which is why from today you can pre-order the third number of our magazine here on the Black Screen Records webpage. Nevertheless we would like to mention that for now, only the English version of the magazine is available. The magazine will be available during this year of the Game Music Festival edition.
