THE NEW ISSUE OF METAL HAMMER IS ON SALE NOW!!
Bonzer! Cobber! Strewth! etc. We flew all the way to Australia to hook up with rock’s best new band, get pissed and witness thet lady-laden carnage! We also flew to Japan to spend some time with enigmatic J rockers, Dir En Grey and see them in their natural environment; and on the eve of the release of rock’s most anticipated release, we tell you 50 things you didn’t know about Chinese Democracy.
We also look at Satyricon’s new haircuts and what that means for the music, talk to Finntroll about the Viking metal party and set the record straight with Sonic Syndicate about that record deal.
We head out on the road with Atreyu, give you the story of Ronnie James Dio, owner of the best pipes in metal and give As I Lay Dying one of the harshest Spanish Inquisitions ever.
And lest we forget, this issue comes with a free 2009 calendar rammed with hot metal maidens – from Cristina Scabbia to Kat Von D.
The free CD this month is the next in the series of awesome Battle Metal compilations and this month sees not only music from Helloween, Ensiferum, Saxon and Satyricon, but specially recorded speeches from Turisas frontman, Warlord Nygard.
