Heavy music is going strong in this year of our Lord 2023. In particular, it's possibly more diverse than ever, encompassing vastly divergent sounds — from the punk-infused emo-rap of $uicideboy$ to the alt-rock-inflected metallic hardcore of Code Orange, from the shoegazing folk-metal of Myrkur to the industrialized nihilism of 3TEETH.
Those artists and more appear on the collectible covers of Revolver's new Fall Issue, while other boundary-pushing artists such as Wargasm and Twin Temple fill out the pages inside.
You can pre-order the magazine now along with special limited-edition collector's bundles, featuring exclusive vinyl, art prints and more, at our shop.
