Bullet For My Valentine are one of the UK’s biggest bands - but that’s not enough for the ultra-ambitious Matt Tuck and co. They tell Rock Sound why, as 'Fever' burns its way into the mainstream, they’re aiming higher and higher.

Also in this bumper issue: Jared Leto writes a personal letter about why he’s looking forward to Download so much, and we’ve got the likes of HIM, Aerosmith, Deftones, Glamour Of The Kill, Stone Sour, Cancer Bats and Lawnmower Deth (!) giving their top tips for who you have to see at this year’s Donington extravaganza; we review The Gaslight Anthem’s new record; Trash Talk kidnap us and take us on the road for an epic mash-up of mayhem and motorways; Madina Lake talk about everything from wanking off dogs to who’s got the hottest mum; we find out why Rolo Tomassi are the perfect 21st century band; A Wilhelm Scream shred our faces; Mike Patton confuses the hell out of us; This Is Hell provide some meaty beatdowns; Foals make their bid for greatness and the mighty Max Cavalera from Soulfly gives the secret of his immortality.

Not only that, but we tip our hats to Refused’s staggering masterpiece ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’; Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland welcomes us into his world; one of our favourite UK hardcore labels Holy Roar reveals all (literally) and we’ve got the verdict on albums by Four Year Strong, Pendulum and more, gigs from the likes of The Swellers, Narrows, Kill Hannah, Dance Gavin Dance and a look back at Groezrock.

And William Control tells us his biggest turn-on. Warning: involves Susan Boyle. Be afraid.

All this plus an exclusive free download bundle of Twin Atlantic's amazing new single 'Human After All'.
