Revolver has a circulation of around 200,000. The title and its web site will join the six titles in Future\'s American music portfolio, including Guitar World and Future Music. Other titles in England include Classic Rock Magazine and Metal Hammer.
Revolver was launched in 2000 and now generates gross profits of $500,000 on turnover of $3.7 million. Greg Ingham, chief executive of Future, commented:

\"Revolver is a natural fit with our U.S. music titles and will benefit from being part of a larger music portfolio. There is also strong editorial crossover with our UK music titles Metal Hammer and Classic Rock, both of which are seeing good circulation growth at present.\"
