In this issue, we head over to Los Angeles to worship Sleep Token on their US tour – and hear Vessel speak! While in the States, it would’ve been rude not to go to Power Trip, the biggest metal festival ever.
We report back on all the action from Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Metallica and Tool.
Elsewhere in the mag, we sit down with Amy Lee for a deep-dive into Evanescence’s debut album Fallen, in celebration of its 20th birthday.
We also go on tour with Scene Queen (it was very, very pink!) before heading to the other end of the scale to talk blood and death with Watain’s Erik Danielsson.
Comedian, actor, multi-instrumentalist and all-round overachiever Bill Bailey answers your questions, Ozzy tells us why he has no fear of going to Hell, and Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale invites us into her record collection.
We meet Dharma, a Taiwanese metal band with a nun in their line-up, revisit the career of Mudhoney, and talk pop culture with Anaal Nathrakh’s Dave Hunt.
We hit the studio with Amaranthe, get Life Lessons from In This Moment’s Maria Brink, and reveal the story behind Prong’s catchy-as-hell Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck.
All this, plus all the essential news and reviews from the world of metal!
