Metal Hammer Metal Hammer 401

Published 29th May
As Babymetal prepare to hit London’s 02 and release their collab-crazy fifth album, we chat to the girls and their very special album guests (Spiritbox, Tom Morello, Poppy, Bloodywood, Electric Callboy, Polyphia and Slaughter To Prevail) to find out what’s in store. Elsewhere in the mag, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett talks guitars, horror movies, going solo, and, er, making breakfast for Jason Momoa. Volbeat mainman Michael Poulsen gets the Hammer Interview treatment (and informs us why goats should sue mankind), The Conjuring actor and The Yagas vocalist Vera Farmiga tells us how she found her metal voice, we revisit Nine Inch Nails’ legendary Self Destruct tour with the photographer who was there for the wild ride, and we join Plague Of Angels as they incur the wrath of Christians by playing a metal gig in York Minster cathedral. We look back on the story of Linkin Park, Vexed reveal the true cost of touring, and Shavo Odadjian answers your questions. Bury Tomorrow’s Dani Winter-Bates invites us into his record collection, Confess’s Nikan Khosravi reflects on being imprisoned in Iran for playing metal, and Opeth remember the making of Ghost Of Perdition. All this, plus all the essential gigs and reviews from the world of metal.
