Review
"HELLRAISERS cuts to the core of Heavy Metal’s history with a healthy dose of humor, the sincerity of a committed Jedi, and the familiarity of your closest metal brothers and sisters. Think of this book as the literary version of stealing your older brother/sister’s records when you were a kid, only there is so much to learn contained herein that even the most well studied metal scholars will find truth in these pages. For myself, reading about the genre of music I helped pioneer in context of this vast history is overwhelming. Most music is created upon the foundation of a love for music that came before it and this book does an amazing job of illuminating this relationship. In a time of fake news, fake music, fake pop stars, the fake reality that is the Internet, HELLRAISERS proves to be a much needed and much welcomed addition to the written history of heavy metal.”
- Mike Schleibaum, guitarist for Darkest Hour
The visuals make for an enriched reading experience with an array of visuals that will stir up nostalgia among long-time fans of the genre, as well as curiosity among newer fans. - Spill Magazine
Every heavy metal fan should get their hands on a copy of this book to give them a broader idea into the heavy metal genre - JP's Music Blog
Its handy format allows you to hold it in one hand so you can easily hold a beer or a whiskey in the other.

"The historical perspective is there and the photos are great...buy this book for the smart, humor-having metalhead in your life." - Pure Grain Audio
"Informative and funny. I laughed so hard, my scrotum exploded." - J.R. Hayes, vocalist of Pig Destroyer
"HELLRAISERS is sort of a crash course in all things metal. From Thrash Metal to Black Metal, Glam to Deathcore bullshit, this is a comprehensive book that covers a wide variety of bands and genres. Worth it even just for the pictures.” - Joel Grind, frontman of Toxic Holocaust
“I like books with pictures and I like books about heavy metal and this book has both. People like to compartmentalize their genres but this book shows that everybody is influencing everybody constantly and begetting lunatic metal children with Sabbath legs, Van Halen arms, Kiss torsos, Cannibal Corpse faces and maybe even cartoon feet. This is also a great gift for your idiot friend who doesn’t know anything about good music. There’s nothing better than giving a gift and insulting somebody at once. That’s just a good tip outside of this book."
- Brendon Small, creator of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse and frontman of Dethklok
