Cruising in our Delorean at 88mph, this month’s issue is all about bringing you the Future of Metal right now! Which bands are shaping the future of our beloved genre, is metal still in a great state and who will dare to grasp the baton from metal’s living legends when they hang up their studded belts?

Get the lowdown on their rise to the top, their most successful year yet and watch them put up their fists to fight all forms of criticism!

Elsewhere, we look at ARCHITECTS, SYLOSIS, ASKING ALEXANDRIA, YOUR DEMISE, MALEFICE and more to delve into the state of British metal, there are crucial sounds coming out of the States with ESCAPE THE FATE, EMMURE, LETLIVE, THE WORD ALIVE and MOTIONLESS IN WHITE and there’s our all killer, no filler look at 75 BANDS WE THINK WILL SHAPE THE FUTURE OF METAL from every type of metal sub-genre!
