Jerry Ewing grew up in Sydney, Australia in the 1970s. He was hauled half way round the world to England, where he sought solace in the burgeoning sounds of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. A degree in Management Science led to him working on Metal Forces magazine, and he has since worked on Metal Hammer, launched both Classic Rock and Classic Rock Presents Prog, and has also worked for Maxim, Vox, Stuff and Bizarre.
