Why is there a strange heat emanating from your local newsagent? It has nothing to do with the season, and no, the aircon isn't broken. It's because Australian Guitar #157 has just dropped. All 100 pages exude ineffable hotness. Do not strike a match near it.
How could it fail to generate so much heat when Zakk Wylde adorns the cover in his role as Dimebag sit-in for the new Pantera line-up? Chances are you're looking forward to seeing this iteration of the classic metal group in Australia as part of Knotfest 2024. Well, the best way to prepare for that is to partake in this exhaustive, fascinating 10-page feature.
It's a bumper issue for profiles. Pete Townshend offers up new insight into The Who, Chelsea Wolfe talks ambience, and Johnny Marr shows off his guitar collection. There's so many interviews: Code Orange, The Mark of Cain, Gut Health, Laura Jane Grace, Ash Naylor... much, much more.
Add to that our huge 12-page 2024 guitar workout, designed to get you into shape for a new year of playing and gigging, and this is the hottest issue of AG so far in 2024. It's also the first, but that's beside the point.
Australian Guitar #157 is available now at newsagents all around the country, and online via TechMags or iSubscribe.
