This is a ZIP download version of issue #90.
 
New issue features 4-page cover story on Nightwish as we chat to Floor Jansen and Troy Donockley about their wonderful new album Human Nature. Also on the cover are Melodic Rock favourites H.e.a.t who are storming back onto the scene by going back to their roots – we talk to Energiser Bunny Erik Grönwall about their decision to turn the clock back and the confusingly titled album ‘II’. We also witness the birth of the fantastic new supergroup Black Swan and we chat with both Robin McCauley and Jeff Pilson how they, along with Reb Beach (Whitesnake/Winger) and Matt Starr (Mr Big) got together to record one of the best Melodic Rock debuts of recent years.
 
Elsewhere we interview Joe Satriani, Harem Scarem, Revolution Saints, Bonfire, Dynazty, Wishbone Ash, Delain, Ritchie Kotzen and many, many more, including an in-depth chat with Saxon’s Biff Byford about his first-ever solo album after over 40 years in the business.
 
Unsung Heroes takes a look at the career of Russ Ballard (he of Rainbow’s ‘Since You Been Gone’ and ‘I Surrender’ fame) while The Enthusiast’s Guide take an in-depth look at Glenn Hughes’ solo output. Add to this other regular features such as Sisters In Rock, The Vinyl Countdown, Bands That Time Forgot, The Curiosity Shop and over 50 pages of reviews and you have the best ‘value for money’ UK Rock magazine on the shelves.
