With terrorizer been crap since the new editor took over, Metal Hammer being a lot of shit, and Kerrang being awful there's no good monthly/weekly metal mag. I don't care for Zero Tolerance at all. Rock-a-Rolla is ok but its not for everyone.

I don't think metal has ever been well represented in the music press, in terms of quality writing... Kerrang 15-20 years ago might have had better bands to give big features to but it didn't exactly breed great journalism. Conversely, I know you think Terrorizer is covering some sucky bands ATM (I wouldn't disagree too much) but I honestly think the quality of the writing is pretty high still. Basically I feel like that at this stage, good print journalism about interesting music is a luxury more than an expectation

Nice to see Opeth on this list.

rock-a-rolla gets criticized for its writing but it at least covers good bands that get ignored elsewhere.
