We're gearing up for a massive relaunch of Revolver magazine and its website this fall. In the meantime, though, we thought it would make sense to bookend these crazy 16 years of Revolver by giving it a Viking funeral. So, for this issue, we've collected some of the best stories, photos, illustrations and covers, dating back to the very beginning of "the World's Loudest Rock Magazine," and we asked some of our favorite writers, photographers, illustrators and musicians to look back with us.

Below is a preview of what's in the June/July 2017 issue. Pick up the new mag on newsstands July 4th or at the Revolver Online Store.
