Heavy Fucking Metal & Rock 'N' Fucking Roll

Wake up! (Wake up) ‘jbsdnovsdyufoinevryunv’ make-up!” Yep, Toxicity is turning 20, and to celebrate this incredible album, we look back at how System Of A Down risked it all, created a ton of controversy, and killed off nu metal in the process.

Elsewhere in this packed issue of Metal Hammer, we bring you all the reviews and lowdown on the magnificent Download Pilot, speak to Helloween about their stunning new album (why have one vocalist when you can have three?), head down the rabbit hole with At The Gates, and get up close and personal with Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen.

We chat to Backxwash and hear her amazing story, ask Anthrax’s Charlie Benante about Star Wars and, er, Billie Eilish, and let Times Of Grace/Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach and Adam D interview each other. Twin Temple answer your questions, we hit the studio with Mongolian metal masters The Hu, and look back at the making of Arch Enemy’s anthemic As The Pages Burn.

Light The Torch’s Howard Jones gives us his life lessons, we take a look at Josh Rand’s new project and find out why it’s a world away from Stone Sour, and get Pop Evil’s Leigh Kakaty to show and tell his record collection.

All this, plus all the essential news and reviews from the world of metal.
