Issue #406 (Sabaton): Magazine + Exclusive Sabaton Camo Pyjamas

Metal’s action heroes are back! In this issue of Hammer, we head over to Sweden to visit the secret HQ (or should we say armoury?!) of power metal legends Sabaton. We expected the pyro, but the pinball and pancakes took us by surprise!

Plus, we’ve teamed up with the band to produce this exclusive set of cotton camo pyjamas.

Elsewhere in this issue…

• We also pay tribute to the late, great Brent Hinds, looking back on the wild life of the former Mastodon guitarist, who was one of metal’s best-loved larger-than-life characters.
• Matt Heafy tells us all about Trivium’s exciting new chapter in the wake of the BFMV tour cancellation; Lacuna Coil’s Cristina Scabbia gets the Hammer interview treatment; and Nepali underdogs Underside explain how they’re roaring back after numerous setbacks.
• We go hunting for props with Creeper, who reveal all about their second vampire-obsessed epic, then we get a tour of the Steel City with Malevolence, and let Bury Tomorrow loose in a rage room
• The Darkness’s Justin Hawkins waxes lyrical about taking his YouTube show on the road; Harajuku-core stars Hanabie answer your questions; Electric Callboy talk darts, gardening and… their desire to write a Bon Jovi ballad; and Clutch frontman/preacher Neil Fallon invites us into his eclectic record collection.
• Biohazard’s Evan Seinfeld dishes out some hard-won life lessons; Bruce Dickinson reflects on the making of Tears Of The Dragon, and we meet dungeon-dwelling fancy-dress fiends Castle Rat
  

…all this, plus all the essential gigs and reviews from the world of metal.
