THE GOLDEN GODS are here! Read all about the biggest and best metal awards show in the world!

We pay tribute to fallen hero RONNIE JAMES DIO, speak to GLENN DANZIG about his latest dark opus and welcome back Swedish true metallers, GRAND MAGUS with their latest offering, Hammer Of The North. RAMMSTEIN’S Christoph Schneider tells us his life story, we put the difficult questions to former Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver bassist DUFF MCKAGAN – not least about his most recent Duff McKagan’s Loaded project, and ALICE COOPER tells us about the making of his classic Welcome To My Nightmare album. Metal Detector this month talks through SHADOWSFALL’S impressive back catalogue.

I’m a subscriber! Where’s my issue dammit!
For fuck’s sake, Bullet on the cover…ugh…
And where’s the fucking Black Sabbath CD? I wanna hear Electric Wizard covering them, already!
Hasn’t there already been a feature on Welcome to My Nightmare? Come on Hammer, you’re starting to repeat yourself: you did Joe Perry’s life story last month when you’d already done it a few years ago!
why is the issue nearly a week late for subscribers?
is it just me or have hammer not done a tribute to paul grey?
@ danny i know its pissing me off as i was at golden god and wanted a keep sake from the magazine. (Apart from the t-shirt and the hangover i suffered the next morning that is!)
FFS yourself.. Bullet are ok, I like them.. Yeah ok they aint a patch on Soulfly or Maiden but imo a definitely not shit.. On this very site when reviewing download festival the reviewer made the comment that they are the best band from the UK since Maiden.. His words not mine and to miss them at your peril.. Yeah they are borderline emo and yes emo is completely shit but Bullet are a good band and I can’t be the only one to think so.. And on the subject of tributes yeah its always sad to lose a fellow defender especially when they are a complete legend and hero like Ronnie.. His life should be celebrated and death mourned.. As for Paul Grey yeah he was a legend too but Ronnie faced a far more difficult challenge and it is so sad he lost.. We don’t know the full extent of what exactly happened to Paul but he thought too much of the Maggots for his death to have been anything other than accidental.. So both should be celebrated..
celebrate their lives.. Obviously NOT their deaths.. Metalheads globally mourn both losses even if like me in life they weren’t my favourite performers both legacies are beyond doubt..
I subscribe and haven’t had my issue yet.
Download reviews in this month?

I’m a subscriber too and I haven’t got my issue, I thought it was just my copy, what happened this month Metal Hammer?
I’m a subscriber and no issue…..again!!!! It’s getting pathetic.
glad i’m not the only one… can’t be lettin’ me down hammer!
You’ll find they’re late so we could get Download and Golden Gods in the issue.
Yeah I’m a subscriber too and am yet to recieve it. But I’m sure becuase we’ve all bitched it’ll be here today…. or there’ll be hell to pay
Was anyone else’s late for the Zakk Wylde cover one? Just mine turned up 1 1/2 weeks after it went on sale. I had to buy one.
Haha i was dead right, it literally just arrived
Arrived this morning, it’s great issue, I like the new layout, although it was a bit confusing not to see Jurgen on the opening page!
i take it all back Hammer, the issue kicks ass! awesome haul on extra goodies, and the new layout is pretty fucking classy!
seriously, only been reading for just over a year, but this is my favourite issue so far by a long shot. 2 essential CD’s, awesome Maiden poster and badge and fantastically written articles including one on MELVINS?! Fucking yes!
Mine just arrived today- glad to see appreciation of Ackercocke on page 13. Nergal’s court case has been dismissed- where there is faith there is always hope!!!!
Gonna save this for the train journey to Sonisphere
I like the new look Hammers got and hope C*nt of the Month makes a return next issue. So many folks nowadays deserve a good slagging…
my favourite issue was probably the megadeth september 09 one. although any interview written by do lawson i look out for. They’re all good but i connect with his tastes and attitude the most out of all the writers, milas being the second.
Where’s my feckin stickers this month?! lol!
Oh yeah! Where are the stickers? I was looking forward to the “Mystery Sticker”!
yeah-where are they? I’m trying to replace the garbage pail kids on the wardrobe
