STALKER Archive treasures: Tuska festival, Alexi Laiho

Celebrating 20 years of STALKER Magazine, we decided to share some archive treasures with you: The very first STALKER print magazine of late 2003, a pre-issue using a different layout to the later ones, and the first official print magazine released in 2/2004.
