GOJIRA, EVANESCENCE AND MORE APPEAR ON COVERS OF NEW ISSUE
Merriam-Webster defines it as “strength of mind that enables a person to face danger or endure pain and adversity with courage.” It’s also the title of Gojira’s exceptional new album. Only a group of French metalheads could bring such a powerful English word to life.
Fortitude perfectly captures the “metal attitude” we’ve been celebrating since we relaunched Revolver in 2017: no compromise, never back down, and fight to the end. This attitude is embodied by the artists featured in our new Spring 2021 Issue: Gojira, Amy Lee of Evanescence, Serj Tankian of System of a Down, and Chase Mason of Gatecreeper, each gracing one of our four collectible covers. Inside, you’ll also find contributions from Pupil Slicer, Eyehategod, and more.
Stay tuned for exclusive bundles of each cover and other special products!
