Shove this in your bloody ears

This weekend at Sonisphere Metal Hammer will be taking part in Classic Album Sundays and playing you lovely lot some of the biggest and best albums on the planet on a whopping great £650K Audio Note sound system.

This Sunday, three members of the Hammer team will be playing some of the greatest metal albums of all time to the Sonisphere audience as part of Classic Album Sundays – an event so huge it takes over two days!
