Metal Hammer have teamed up with living metal legends Iron Maiden for a very exclusive bundle to celebrate 40 years of their beloved fifth studio album, Powerslave. In the latest issue of Metal Hammer magazine, we take a special look back at the story of the album and its legacy as one of the most celebrated heavy metal records of the 80s - and a crucial chapter in Maiden's own story as they confirmed their status as British metal's most revered band. 

Now, you can pick up a special edition of our new issue with special, brand new Powerslave art, as well as a matching t-shirt! You can't get this bundle anywhere else but from the official Metal Hammer store, so get yours while you can.

Also in the new issue of Metal Hammer, we talk to genre-splicing alt artist Poppy ahead of her new album Negative Spaces, decode the meanings behind every Sleep Token song and go AAA with The Black Dahlia Murder to find out how they’re continuing the legacy of the much-missed Trevor Strnad. We take also Opeth for afternoon tea in Mayfair, where they spill the tea on the family feuds behind latest epic The Last Will And Testament – and eat a load of fondant fancies.

Meanwhile, Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel reunites with Tarja Turunen to remember the creation of epic anthem Paradise (What About Us?), Kerry King answers your questions on venomous snakes and giant rodents, and Nile’s Karl Sanders dishes out his life lessons on Ancient Egypt and Taekwondo.

Plus Bloodywood, High Parasite, Delain, Blood Incantation, Cosmic Void festival, Soulfly, Oceans Of Slumber, Devin Townsend and more.
