ROCK SOUND MAGAZINE DO THEIR FIRST (AND MAYBE LAST) INTERESTING THING


Rock Sound is the UK version of Revolver… or is Metal Hammer the UK version of Revolver? What does that make Terrorizer?

Oh never mind… point being that Rock Sound is a “Metal Mag” in the same way that Nescafe Gold Blend is a proper cup of coffee; weak, bland and flavourless.

However even the most repetitive of mainstream alternative mags can sometimes do something great, and in this case this thing is this rather ridiculous looking covers album Rock Sound are putting out in an upcoming issue. This is no Pop Goes Punk, re-releasing of Master of Puppets, Video Game sanctioned series of War songs, or anything like that; there’s no forced theme here. As far as I can tell it’s just bands recording songs they like.

The line-up is mixed between things no-one in their right minds would think about twice (and some I've never even heard of) and some real interesting looking combinations, take a look-see.


In this writers opinion at least, Stray From The Path covering seminal Deftones radio hit Back To School has potential to be the most ridiculously great thing since Upon a Burning Body covered Turn Down For What. Enter Shikari covering Chop Suey! and The Defiled covering the good era of Bring Me the Horizon has potential too.
