Metal Hammer

''Metal Hammer'' (sometimes ''MetalHammer'') is a monthly heavy metal music magazine published in the United Kingdom by TeamRock, and in several other countries by different publishers. ''Metal Hammer'' articles feature both mainstream bands and more unusual acts from the whole spectrum of heavy metal music.
==History==
London-based Wilfried F. Rimensberger instigated the concept of ''MetalHammer'' magazine in 1983.〔Story in Metalhammer Germany special edition 2009, celebrating the publication's 25 years anniversary〕 At the time, he suggested to the infant ''Kerrang!'' magazine in London that they should publish a German version, but the editors of the time were not interested. Rimensberger took the idea to Jürgen Wigginghaus, publisher of German ''MusikSzene'' magazine where Rimensberger was Chief-Editor, and proposed the idea of a multi-lingual rock music publication. He also approached some of Europe's largest publishers such as Springer, Ringier and Bauer, but none were interested.
Eventually, Wigginghaus used the ''Dortmunder Rocknacht'' as a test ground for the publication in Germany and Rimensberger started the international English version ''Metalhammer'' UK from London. He developed the multilingual concept that propelled the magazine to a monthly circulation of over 1 million and, during its peak, published in 11 different languages across the globe - at the time largely outselling ''Kerrang!''. ''Metalhammer'' had local language editions in countries such as Israel, Japan, Serbia, Spain, The Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Hungary, France. ''Metalhammer'' was also the first Western youth publication in the Soviet Union. Rimensberger made up the original and, at the time, unique concept of a heavy metal lifestyle magazine which was embedded in a network of ''Metalhammer'' branded multi-national radio shows, awards, tours, festivals, recordings, etc. This organization made the publication into the leading genre platform of the 80's - and the global leader in his segment of the publishing market.
Rimensberger, who started and owned Metalhammer UK Ltd and the registered rights of the name, later sold them to Wigginghaus whilst remaining in the background until the early Nineties as an adviser to Wigginghaus. Rimensberger was the promoter of the first Metalhammer Lorelei Festival, with leading metal acts such as Metallica, Motörhead and Venom. It was him who recommended Metallica to Peter Mensch (AC/DC) for management. Rimensberger also linked the name ''Metal Hammer'' with other successful brands such as the BBC (''Friday Rock Show'' with Tommy Vance), MTV Metal Show with Bailey Brothers and Castle Donington Monsters of Rock Festival.
Harry Doherty, formerly of ''Melody Maker'', became the launch editor of the English-language ''Metal Hammer'', also producing the Metal Hammer TV Show on satellite television. He left to found the video magazine, ''Hard'n'Heavy'', before being asked back by Wigginghaus to take over all the European issues of ''Metal Hammer'' and other associated magazines, such as ''Rock World''. In association with Picture Music International, the video arm of EMI Records, Doherty also launched the ''Metal Hammer Video Magazine'', in direct competition with his earlier creation, ''Hard'n'Heavy''. Doherty left after a management dispute with Wigginghaus. Harry Doherty's original personal assistant Sue Powell went on to manage the London-based offices under Wilfried F. Rimensberger.
Rimensberger joined the start-up crew of MTV Europe as a consultant to the director of Network Development. He also became a co-producer of Tom Galley's Phenomena project, organising its worldwide record deal and linking it with some of the best rock musicians and singers. He co-produced with Tom Galley ''Dream Runner'', Phenomena's best selling album which has become somewhat of a rock classic, uniting the best rock voices of the time on one studio album. Rimensberger also represented Stiletto Entertainment Los Angeles in Europe, produced Nina Corti at the Royal Albert Hall and various TV productions for Swiss, German and UK TV. He is the sourcing producer of Barry Manilow's movie project and Broadway-bound musical ''Harmony'', the founder of The Children's Arts Academy and the producer of further cross-culture based projects such as 'Europa - The Woman′ and EuropeanIcons.〔() 〕 In the 1990s, Wigginghaus lost control over the publication and, advised by Rimensberger, sold the German edition to Jürg Marquart, the publisher of ''Penthouse'' and ''Cosmopolitan'' magazines in Germany. Later, Wigginghaus had to sell the remaining UK publication to cover personal financial liabilities.
With their November 2011 issue, the magazine celebrated "25 years of keeping it heavy".
