Kerrang! Magazines

Turn up the volume with our collection of vintage Kerrang! magazines. Launched in 1981 as a one-off supplement in Sounds newspaper, Kerrang! quickly exploded to become the world’s biggest-selling weekly rock magazine. Named onomatopoeically after the sound of a distorted power chord, it was the definitive chronicler of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal before evolving to lead the charge for Thrash, Grunge, Nu-Metal, and Emo. From legendary posters and "K!" ratings to its iconic smashed-font masthead, these issues are essential for anyone who lived through the riffs and rebellions of the last four decades.
