Heavy Fucking Metal & Rock 'N' Fucking Roll!

The new issue of Metal Hammer features a world-exclusive interview with Poppy.

Breaking onto the scene a decade ago, Poppy has blurred genres, flirting with hyperpop, alternative, industrial, nu metal and more. This year, she’s also become metal’s go-to guest star, collaborating with hardcore heavyweights Knocked Loose and metalcore buzz-band Bad Omens. Her imminent sixth album, Negative Spaces, was produced by ex-Bring Me The Horizon man Jordan Fish, and sees her songs swing from the “saccharine” to the “heaviest” she’s ever done – join us as we venture inside her mysterious world.

The magazine also includes a massive feature celebrating 40 years of Iron Maiden’s incredible Powerslave album.

Elsewhere, we decode the meanings behind every Sleep Token song, and go AAA with The Black Dahlia Murder to find out how they’re continuing the legacy of the much-missed Trevor Strnad. 

We take Opeth for afternoon tea in Mayfair, where they, er, spill the tea on the family feuds behind latest epic The Last Will And Testament… and eat a load of fondant fancies.

Meanwhile, Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel reunites with Tarja Turunen to remember the making of the anthemic Paradise (What About Us?), Kerry King answers your questions on venomous snakes and giant rodents, and Nile’s Karl Sanders dishes out his life lessons on Ancient Egypt and taekwondo. 

We hit the studio with Bloodywood, meet the goth royalty behind new band High Parasite, and fly to the Netherlands to see how Belgian progressive metal label Pelagic has birthed a festival and a scene.

All this, along with Delain, Blood Incantation, Cosmic Void festival, Soulfly, Oceans Of Slumber, Devin Townsend and much, much more.
