Get your exclusive Tesseract x Metal Hammer bundle – featuring a signed art print and a drinks coaster.


Tesseract fans won’t want to miss this limited edition Metal Hammer bundle featuring an exclusive art print hand-signed by the band and a cork-backed coaster – only 300 copies are available.


Inside, singer Dan Tompkins, bassist Amos Williams and guitarist/mastermind Acle Kahney reveal the ideas behind their ambitious new album, The War Of Being.


Inspired by the likes of James S.A. Corey’s mind-bending sci-fi epic The Expanse and Haruki Murakami’s impressionistic novel Hard-Boiled Wonderland, it tells the story of two characters named Ex and El as they journey across a mysterious environment called The Strangeland.


“It’s a neo-noir dark fantasy set in a strange land… It’s the concept of finding yourself in a new, scary, difficult position,” explains Amos. 


The band have also produced a VR and desktop game to accompany The War Of Being and have a Tesseract beer coming soon, crafted by Alpha Delta Brewing.


The issue also includes features on Babymetal, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Blaze Bayley, Immortal, Code Orange, Green Lung, Baroness, Wargasm and more.


There are only 300 of these Tesseract x Metal Hammer bundles available worldwide – and they’re only available online. Grab yours here and have it delivered straight to your door.


Metal Hammer 379

This issue, we celebrate Babymetal's new chapter as a trio – and the magazine comes with a huge double-sided poster of them!

Ahead of their UK tour, we speak to Su-Metal, Moametal and brand new member Momometal about what's next. Plus, what’s all this about a spin-off band?!


Elsewhere in the mag, we chat to Dave Mustaine to get the inside story of the birth of Megadeth, 40 years on, and fly to Poland to see whether Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo is ready to embrace his rock star status.


Killswitch Engage remember how Jesse brought them back from the brink with the song In Due Time, Blaze Bayley reflects on flying vodka bottles, burning bikes and surviving Maiden, and Code Orange explain why they're ready for a second shot at breakthrough success.


Meanwhile, Tesseract take us on one helluva trip into a strange new world with their latest album, and punk metallers Wargasm spit on mediocrity.


Immortal’s Demonaz reminisces about catnapping, Frank Sinatra and the early days of black metal, Jake Oni invites us into his record collection, and we hit the studio with the excellent Green Lung.


Baroness’s Gina Gleason talks shredding and Cirque du Soleil, and we sit down with former SoundCloud alt-rapper nothing,nowhere to discuss his star-studded new album.


All this, plus all the essential news and reviews from the world of metal.
