Item description from seller

First edition. Fine, fresh copy in fine dust jacket with small light stain on text block. Hardcover. 385 pp with index and photographs (in color and black & white). A definitive overview of the madness and mayhem of heavy metal, a genre that despite selling in the millions has never been fully accepted by the mainstream music world. Divided by sub-genres, the book is an accessible biography of thrash metal, "hair bands", Scandinavian Black Metal, nu metal, and many more, beginning with early groundbreakers like Black Sabbath. Readers get twenty chapters of interviews with the greatest heavy metal bands, a timeline of the most explosive happenings from 1970-2002, and never-before-seen photos from the metal revolution.
