LIKE WHAT WE’VE DONE WITH THE PLACE?

This is a new era and a new start for Metal

Hammer. What you’ll see within these pages is the magazine that we believe represents where metal is at in 2018. It’s a magazine we’re immensely proud of: stacked with brilliant bands, new regular features and a world-exclusive interview with one of the most important bands to ever grace our world: Slipknot. It seems insane to think that All Hope Is Gone is now a decade old, but the story behind it - told in full with no holds barred for the first time - is an absolute mindblower. Enjoy.

We’ve spent much of the last year chatting to you guys about what you’d like to see more of in Hammer, and what aspects of Hammer through the years you’ve loved the most. The results of those conversations are in your hands right now. This is your mag as much as ours. Your support is the lifeblood that keeps us going. Without you, we don’t exist, and we will never, ever forget that.

So, let us know what you think of the new digs on the

Metal Hammer Readers group on Facebook, or email us at metalhammer@futurenet.com. We’re always listening. And if you like what you see, don’t forget you can go that extra mile with us (and save some money!) by subscribing at www.tinyurl.com/

HammerFamily. If you’re already a loyal subscriber: thank you, and keep your eyes peeled for some special stuff we have lined up just for you.

Let’s make some memories together, shall we? Horns up!
