In an emotional and candid interview, the guys talk us through their ongoing grieving process after the loss of Tom, the scale of that imminent Alexandra Palace show and, for the first time, what comes next. You do not want to miss it.
Plus, the issue comes with a free, exclusive A4 print designed by Jon Barmby – the man behind the striking artwork for Doomsday!
Oh, and Black Label Society fans? You may wanna pick this issue up too – it comes with a FREE, souvenir BLS magazine. More Zakk Wylde than you’ll find anywhere else!
