“My heart and soul is dedicated to Slipknot”: A world-exclusive interview with Clown – only in the new issue of Kerrang! magazine

Summer is (almost) here and it is going to be absolutely bananas. From Slam Dunk to Outbreak to 2000trees, festivals across the UK are taking the greatest and most exciting acts on the planet to our front door. And then there’s the small matter of this year’s epic four-day Download Festival, bringing Metallica, Bring Me The Horizon and Slipknot back to Donington.

In this season’s issue of Kerrang!, we sit down with Slipknot mastermind Clown to unpack the past 12 months, getting older, coping with monumental loss, the fallout from The End, So Far, and why The Nine will live forever. It’s quite the ride.

But that’s not all! We head to Berlin’s infamous nightclub Berghain with doom trap demon Mimi Barks, pop-punk favourites Neck Deep take us inside the gigs that changed their lives, we join Hot Milk on their journey to superstardom, head inside the studio with Svalbard, and discover why Soul Glo are the hardcore band you need right now.

Plus loads more, including exclusive posters of Pierce The Veil, Fall Out Boy, Cassyette and Bury Tomorrow.
