1 BABYMETAL<br />
– KARATE<br />
The first peek at<br />
BABYMETAL’s<br />
new album, Metal<br />
Resistance, is<br />
nuts. How heavy?<br />
How catchy? And<br />
just how kawaii?<br />
The answer is:<br />
really, really – on<br />
all counts.<br />
AGAINST THE<br />
2 CURRENT –<br />
RUNAWAY<br />
Where does a<br />
plane land, Against<br />
The Current?<br />
‘Runaway’.<br />
BAHAHA! Srsly,<br />
though, this new<br />
tune is very good.<br />
ZAKK WYLDE<br />
3 – SLEEPING<br />
DOGS<br />
Zakk goes…<br />
unplugged?! Yep,<br />
but this new cut is<br />
still guitar gold.<br />
4 EVAROSE –<br />
PROVOKE ME<br />
Evarose haven’t<br />
half taken their<br />
time working<br />
on their new<br />
album, Invisible<br />
Monsters. Totally<br />
worth it – this is a<br />
fuzzy gem.<br />
5 NOTHING<br />
– TIRED OF<br />
TOMORROW<br />
Post-metal weirdos<br />
Nothing are back,<br />
and they’ve got<br />
even more effects<br />
pedals than<br />
before! Win!<br />

Hacktivist on their<br />
djenty grooves and leave<br />
it at that. But you’d<br />
be missing a big bit of<br />
the picture. Much of the guitar work does<br />
indeed come from Meshuggah’s school of<br />

HOW AN ADVENTURE IN BRAZIL’S AMAZONIAN HEART<br />
SHAPED THE NEW BREED OF HEAVY<br />
BY 1996, Sepultura had<br />
established themselves as the<br />
last word in cutting-edge metal.<br />
Considering they had to come from the<br />
mean streets of São Paulo, Brazil, to get<br />
there, a feat unheard of when they formed<br />
in the mid-’80s, their success came with no<br />
