Faith New More are back with the rock album of the year, and in this month's Rhythm Mike 'Puffy' Bordin tells all about the band's unlikely resurrection.

All-star interviews

Once again we're jam-packed with features and killer interviews, like our rock head-to-head between the seasoned Ray Luzier of Korn and King 810 whippersnapper Andrew Workman. We also get the lowdown on how the bombastic Arejay Hale and Halestorm recording their top ten new album, Into The Wild Life, without losing Arejay's electric energy.

Plus, Debbie Knox-Hewson talks pop perfection with Charli xcx and we go on a journey deep into the realm of prog with Devin Townsend's Ryan van Poederooyen.
