Writing: Metal Hammer magazine #227

This month marks the publication of my first work in Metal Hammer magazine. The UK metal publishing sphere is small and professionally incestuous, meaning a few staffers there have been aware of my work for some time. One review from 2011 in particular convinced them that I was worth recruiting, and that was that.

Metal Hammer is the biggest-selling monthly magazine about heavy metal published in the UK, and by extension is one of the best-selling monthlies on the genre anywhere in the world. As such, I’m obviously delighted to be able to call myself a contributor. Issue #227 is on sale now, and contains interviews by me with Sick Of It All, The Painted Smiles, and Sam Dunn, the filmmaker behind Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey.
