Inside the issue

In a world that increasingly feels like a dystopia, Metal Magazine Nº53 declares that Tenderness is the new punk. We explore vulnerability not as a weakness, but as a political act and a sharp weapon against barbarity.

Inspired by the words of filmmaker Joachim Trier, this issue challenges the performativity of strength. Inside, we feature exclusive conversations with Vivian Wilson, Amaarae, Brutalismus 3000, and Frost Children, proving that empathy is the ultimate rebellion. From the digital touch of Satoshi Kondo to the raw art of Isabelle Albuquerque, discover why remaining kind is the most radical stance you can take. Welcome to the resistance.
