Far be it from us to suggest Kerrang! could possibly be cashing in on rock’s recent resurgence. But the magazine which has stuck with the loud stuff through thick and thin is about to unleash a 42-track double CD pulling together everything that appeals to the kids of today.
And perhaps the K club, more than anyone, deserve to make a few bob out of the music they champion week in, week out whatever the nation’s fickle tastes.
From rushonrock faves Black Tide (pictured) to nu-generation AC/DCers Airbourne, metal legends Machine Head to chart king Kid Rock there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes on next month’s must-have release.
