Orange Goblin and Cwfen are both interviewed in the new issue of Metal Hammer this month alongside reviews for Leprous, Novembre, Ventenner and Jo Quail.
Lemmy is on the cover of the new Metal Hammer! ♠️
In the new issue, we celebrate the one and only Lemmy Kilmister. On the 10th anniversary of his death, and his band’s 50th anniversary, his Motorhead bandmates and friends remember the man, the music and the myth.
Saxon’s Biff Byford first met Lemmy in 1979, when his band supported Motorhead on the Bomber tour. While the band were heavily into speed, he says there were hidden depths to Lemmy.
“Lemmy Kilmister was a good man,” remembers Biff. “He was the ultimate road warrior, the Mad Max of rock’n’roll. With Lemmy what you saw was what you got.”
Plus, as Motorhead turn 50, we present the 50 greatest Motorhead tracks, as picked by your favourite metal artists, from Lzzy Hale and Kirk Hammett to Randy Blythe and Zakk Wylde.
Elsewhere in the issue, we share an exclusive extract from Ozzy Osbourne’s final book, Last Rites. He remembers how a thrilling return to the stage at Birmingham’s 2022 Commonwealth Games ushered in his final chapter.
We also travel to deepest, darkest Sweden to find out how Orbit Culture became metal’s latest breakout sensations, and investigate how Nine Inch Nails classic Closer became an accidental strip club anthem.
