Kerrang! – The Loudest, Most Uncompromising Rock & Metal Magazine Ever!

Since its debut in 1981, Kerrang! has been the undisputed voice of heavy metal, hard rock, and alternative music, delivering high-voltage coverage of the bands that defined generations. Originally launched as a supplement to Sounds magazine, Kerrang! quickly became a powerhouse in its own right, championing the rise of NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), thrash, grunge, nu-metal, and beyond.

From Iron Maiden and Metallica to Nirvana and Slipknot, Kerrang! has always been on the front lines, bringing fans exclusive interviews, blistering album reviews, and behind-the-scenes access to rock’s biggest stars and underground legends alike. With its bold, irreverent writing style and rebellious attitude, the magazine became essential reading for headbangers, moshers, and rockers of all stripes.

Still going strong today, Kerrang! remains a defining force in rock journalism, shaping music culture and giving fans an unfiltered, electrifying look at the bands they love. Turn it up to 11—because anything less just isn’t Kerrang!
