Homepage A / Below Header

Hello, fellow heavy music lover! After last weeks first "mega-email newsletter" success we thought we'd go one step further and make it even bigger this week! Many people commented that it was so substantial it was just like a publication in-itself. I thought to myself, "Hell, this can be the new e-Mag/Digi-Mag... or whatever you want to call it! Let's put a cover on it each week too!"

So, from now on each Thursday, we will inbox you a thing of beauty, just like this issue, but with all new features, interviews, videos, reviews, free shit and more.

Stay HEAVY!
