Arriving on December 14th (what a stocking filler!), issue 105 of FIREWORKS is the ideal Christmas present for all the Rock and Metal heads that you know! With 164 pages crammed full of interviews, features and reviews. Dutch Symphonic Metal Giants Within Temptation are our main cover band, and they talk to us about their new album 'Bleed Out' among other topics. Rock legends Dokken prove they are still a force to be reckoned with and speak to us about their new album 'Heaven Comes Down' and other things. The excellent Blues Rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd gave us the lowdown on his new album 'Dirt On My Diamonds Vol 1', oh, and we also spoke to American Rockers Staind about their history and latest release 'Confessions Of The Fallen'.
 
Spanning across the Rock and Metal genres, we have you covered with interviews from Magnum to Bad Wolves, Myrath to Cats In Space and even Desmond Child, Foghat, Paul Rodgers and The Struts thrown in! Whatever you like, we have it!
 
Feature-wise, Rob Evans recalls the Gods Of AOR 2002 weekend. Blue Oyster Cult is the subject of The Enthusiast's Guide, and Lipstick is the Band That Time Forgot.
 
As usual, we have more reviews than any other music magazine covering all the latest releases, reissues, DVDs, Blu-Rays, EPs and books. We also champion the latest new, unsigned acts in a new regular feature.
 
Who could ask for more? Did we mention that it's the ideal Christmas present?
