Metal Hammer brings you Metallica and their Bay Area bredren , Machine Head! We speak together to the former’s drummer and the latter’s frontman – there’s a lot more between them than you might think!

We speak to iconic tattoo artists, Kat Von D in our Tatt’s Life special; talk to Mastodon about their latest ground-breaking opus, revealing the personal material behind the concept; and Iron Maiden explain all about their latest venture, the access-all-areas documentary, Iron Maiden: ‘Flight 666’.

Also, we speak to eminent newcomers Destroy Destroy Destroy who prove to be as mad as they are metal; God Forbid admit that if this year doesn’t pay the bills, it could be the end of the road for the New Jersey metallists; and we head out on the road with Lamb Of God, Unearth, Dimmu Borgir and Five Finger Death punch for what turns out to be utter carnage! Who’da thinked it!?

On top of all that, Max Cavalera tells us the story of his life; we bully Black Tide into admitting all… well, it didn’t take much; and we track the making of the seminal Trouble album, ‘The Skull’.

With your mag, you also get the second part of the huge Deathstars poster, with Iron Maiden and Slipknot pics on the back!
