The sweaty, sun-soaked days of summer are not when you usually want to rock a mask, but for Revolver's new Summer 2024 Issue, we've got three of the biggest, most exciting masked bands in heavy music starring on our cover: Slipknot, Ghost and Sleep Token.
And in the unmasked corner, we have Thursday, post-hardcore heroes on the comeback trail.
Those artists appear on the magazine's collectible covers, while a slew of other vital music-makers — from rednecker rockstar Hardy to nu-gaze upstart Amira Elfeky — appear on the pages inside.
You can pre-order the issue now along with special limited-edition collector's bundles, featuring exclusive vinyl, limit-edition merch and more, at our shop.
