The hard rock/heavy metal music magazine
Revolver has been acquired by Future US, which also publishes enthusiast titles
Guitar World, Guitar One, Guitar World Acoustic, and several
similar spin-offs. The company purchased the magazine for an undisclosed amount from Harris Publications. "The magazine is ripe for brand extensions such as DVDs, poster-zines, and broadcast
television and radio opportunities," said Steve Aaron, Future's group publishing director. "This strategic acquisition will open up opportunities for
Revolver's current advertisers across all
of our existing music titles and visa versa."
