Metal Hammer 265 is out now!

Gracing the cover of this month’s Metal Hammer is the one and only Dimebag fucking Darrell. This month is the tenth anniversary of his death so we have dedicated our cover feature to the man who changed metal forever by looking at his legacy and his story – the brother, the bandmate, the mentor, the musician, the partner, the man…

We talk to the people who knew him best including his brother Vinnie Paul, original Pantera singer Terry Glaze, Pantera bassist Rex Brown, Phil Anselmo, Tony Iommi and many more. This is the ultimate tribute to a man we as metallers and music fans still love and miss.
