One of the coolest things about working at Revolver is getting to cover so many of our favorite musical artists. What's even cooler is getting to actually work with some of them as creative collaborators.
For this issue, it was TOOL's Adam Jones, who photographed his buddies in the Melvins for our cover story commemorating their imminent 40th anniversary early next year. He did an awesome job, and it made for a very special issue.
Also helping to make this a very special print edition: Poppy, Disturbed, Avatar and In Flames, who appear on the Winter 2022 issue's other collectible covers.
You can pre-order the magazine now along with special limited-edition collector's bundles, featuring exclusive vinyl, art prints and more, at our shop.
