Hard Metal was a former Yugoslav music magazine, notable as the first Yugoslav magazine dedicated entirely to heavy metal music.

History

Hard Metal was published by Novi Sad publishing company Dnevnik.[1] The Editor-in-Chiefs was Konstantin Polzović.[1] The first issue of Hard Metal was released in May 1991, and the last, sixth issue was released in May 1992.[1]

In 1992, Hard Metal joined with another music magazine published by Dnevnik, Bum.[2] The new magazine was entitled Rock Starz, and only three issues were published, after which, due to hyperinflation in Yugoslavia, the magazine ceased to exist.[2]

Sections

The magazine featured reviews of new hard rock and heavy metal releases, interviews and concert reviews, covering international, as well as Yugoslav heavy metal scene. Hard Metal published exclusive interviews with the members of W.A.S.P., Megadeth, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, and others.[3]
