Headbang was one of Turkey’s leading rock and heavy metal magazines, playing an important role in the development of the country’s metal scene and culture. First published in March 2007 as a free monthly supplement to Blue Jean magazine, it featured interviews with international and Turkish bands, album and concert reviews, music history articles, and collectible posters.
