AVENGED EIGHTFOLD: For those of you who haven't yet seen our 28th Anniversary Issue—or who got a copy but mistook it for a doorstop, which is understandable—we present the digital debut of Sam Viviano's cover illustration, a lively comic book-style rendering of eight industry titans.

We'll let the true geeks among you puzzle it out. (Click on the image for a bigger view.) (9/24p)
