Revolver is a heavy metal music and hard rock magazine, published in North America. It has been in print since 2000, and is about both established acts and up-and-comers in heavy music. In the fall of 2017, Revolver underwent a brand relaunch, including a redesigned print edition and website, intended to embody the art and culture of heavy music. The magazine was formerly owned by Harris Publications, Future US, and NewBay Media. In 2017 Revolver was bought by Project M Group LLC. From 2006 until 2017, Revolver annually published a feature/calendar of the "Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock" (known as "Hottest Chicks in Metal" until 2011). Because Revolver did not feature many female acts in their magazine outside of the feature, it was frequently criticized and labelled as a sexist, body shaming portrayal of women in rock and metal. In February 2010, Angela Gossow, then-vocalist of Arch Enemy and a former participant in the feature, slammed Revolver for featuring an image she did not want used in the 2010 "Hottest Chicks" feature, and called it "an embarrassment for female musicians, who actually are musicians."
