Metal Hammer 412
The new issue of Metal Hammer features Poppy on the cover, following the release of this year’s Empty Hands album and the announcement of her tour with Evanescence in December. We speak to the enigmatic star about working with puppets, collaborating with some of metal’s biggest artists, life on the road... and how there’s a human trapped in her cat. Elsewhere in the magazine, we celebrate 40 years of Metallica magnum opus Master Of Puppets by talking to those it impacted the most. David Ellefson recalls listening to it secretly on the Megadeth tour bus, while producer Flemming Rasmussen remembers the importance of the late Cliff Burton: “Nothing really happened in Metallica unless Cliff nodded ‘yes’.” We also uncover the story behind Static-X breakthrough song Push It, go AAA with deathcore gateway band Lorna Shore, and spend a weekend in Bangkok inside one of Asia’s most passionate metal scenes. Crowbar explain how they became metal’s unlikeliest TikTok stars, Sepultura take us inside their final release, and Skindred’s Benji Webbe reveals how he went from the Newport reggae scene to fronting one of metal’s greatest live bands. Myrkur takes your questions on herding calls, John Garcia tells us what he learned from playing generator parties in Kyuss, and we meet Cage Fight’s Rachel Aspe – metal’s knockout new star. All this, along with Amon Amarth, Exodus, Nervosa, Mimi Barks, Urne, Shields, Sleep Theory, Avatar, Mayhem, Foo Fighters, 70000Tons Of Metal and much, much more.
