Metal Reading

Any good metal magazines worth reading?

I was at the store and saw all these awesome magazines with metal bands on them. If anyone could recommend me some good metal ones, that would be cool. Some of my favorite bands are Nightwish, Sinergy, Death, Children of Bodom, Carcass, F-ck The Facts, Lazarus A.D. and way more stuff that I can't even list all here.... I'm not really into black metal as much as I am into death metal music. It should have all kinds of metal, death metal, thrash metal, grindcore, anything.

Avoid Metal Edge, Revolver, and Hit Parader... Slipknot, Black Dahlia Murder, Job for a Cowboy, and POD have graced the covers of these mags, that about says it all. You can't really stick to a specific magazine, you just gotta go by the featured bands listed on the cover (and sometimes the badass poster inside) to see if you're interested. Personally I suggest getting your metal news from Blabbermouth.net (pretty much the heavy metal TMZ), just avoid scrolling down past the article cuz that's where the most ignorant, belligerent f*cks on the internet post their thoughts.

You might do well with Decibel or Metal Hammer, but they usually give noisy bands priority over melodic bands. Revolver usually does a solid job of reviewing albums of all genres, but the rest of the mag is pretty much unreadable...
