It's been a dark, scary, WTF year — we lost Eddie Van Halen, for fuck's sake — but there have been glimmers of hope amid the Great Dismal, to borrow a phrase from the band Nothing. With that in mind, we've teamed with three trailblazing heavy hitters, namely, Rob Zombie, Ghostemane and Poppy, who appear across the collectible covers of Revolver's new Winter 2020 issue. They're interviewed inside by a trio of famous friends and fans, comedian Brian Posehn, actor and Tenacious D singer-guitarist Jack Black and Vowws vocalist Rizz, respectively. You can pick up those variants of the magazine now via our store.
Check back next week for exclusive bundles of each cover and other special products!
