Revolver is welcoming in the dog days of summer with two of the hottest bands in heavy music starring on the cover of our new issue: Sleep Token and Ghost, who each recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart with their respective smash albums, Even in Arcadia and SKELETÁ.
Joining that record-breaking company are Turnstile, Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, BABYMETAL and Slaughter to Prevail.
Those artists appear on the magazine’s collectible covers, while a slew of other vital music-makers — from masked phenom PRESIDENT to “moancore” progenitors Not Enough Space — appear on the pages inside.
You can pre-order the issue now along with special limited-edition collector’s bundles, featuring exclusive vinyl, merch and more, at Revolver’s shop.
