Slam Alternative Music Magazine

Magazine for Metal, Hardcore, Punk and Indie since 1994, from Vienna/ Austria. The magazine is managed by publisher and managing director Bernhard Sengstschmid and headed by editor-in-chief Thomas Sulzbacher. Bernhard Kleinbruckner takes on the role of deputy editor-in-chief. History: The magazine was founded in 1994, back then as a fanzine, consisting of a few copies stapled together. The motto is: “comprehensive content instead of superficial reporting”. In addition to reviews of new recording releases, SLAM offers numerous band interviews, stories, live reviews, music columns and special features as well as presentations of video games, books, films, comics and audio books. In addition, the magazine usually includes a poster and a CD (sometimes also a DVD). In addition to the bi-monthly issue, SLAM also serves as publisher of the Rock Classics special series, which covers complete band histories from AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Guns N' Roses.
