It is time for the best read of Spring 2026, and it is ready to land on your doormat. Issue 114 is now available to pre-order, and it is absolutely stacked from front cover to back page.
 
Leading the charge is a huge interview with Dave Mustaine from the legends that are 𝗠𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗵. Yes, that Dave Mustaine. We also sit down with the unstoppable double act of Benji Webbe and Arya Goggin from 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱, who bring insight, honesty, and plenty of personality. Add 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗚𝗶𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 talking about his brand new album, plus Zaher Zorgati and Kevin Codfert from 𝗠𝘆𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵 opening the door to their world, and we are only just getting started.
 
Still hungry. Good. Because this issue also features interviews with 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗹𝗳, 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳, 𝗟𝗼𝘂 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺, and 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸. And because moderation has never been our strong point, we throw in 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗻, 𝗔𝘅𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝘂𝗱𝗶 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗧𝘆𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼, 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀, 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗯, 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶, and 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗹. That makes forty interviews in total. Yes, forty. You may need a brew and a comfy chair.
 
There is more. We bring you features on 𝗕𝗕 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴, a portrait of 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴, and Castaway Classics with the fast rising 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗱𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀. You will also find The Enthusiast’s Guide to 𝗝𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝘂𝗹𝗹, 𝗠𝘆𝗸𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘆’s Through The Looking Glass, and the story of 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗹 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆 and 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗲’s Corridor Of Power.
 
Of course, the Reviews section is back in full force. Honest opinions, no nonsense, and a public service warning about albums that might make your ears file a complaint.
 
Issue 113 sold out fast, so do not hang about. Pre-orders usually ship before the street date, which means you get it first and smugly.
