More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Headbangers rejoice, because this fantastically illustrated encyclopedia includes all things Metal, from influential bands such as Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Kiss and Queen, to Mötley Crue, Black Sabbath (before Ozzy became a family sitcom star), Deep Purple, Twisted Sister and Aerosmith, right up to Jane's Addiction, Las Cruces, Limp Bizkit and today's most extreme death metal bands. Not a single sub-genre or band goes uncovered. Well-researched and fact-filled, the witty text befits the raucous bands that push musical-and all other-boundaries. From obscure groups like Armored Saint and Norway's Mayhem to pioneers Grand Funk Railroad and Iron Maiden to megastars like Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Lita Ford, Van Halen, Joan Jett and Marilyn Manson, each entry contains vital statistics: a description of the band's history and sound; an essential discography; the most current, comprehensive, popular compilations; and much more. Special features cover such important details as Metal Fashion and the various metal genres. Def Leppard, Faith No More, Guns n' Roses, Judas Priest, Metallica, AC/DC, Nine-Inch Nails, Poison, Rage Against the Machine and Japan's Loudness: all of the favourite (and not so favourite) adrenaline-pumped, bizarre bands that make heavy metal the unique form it is appear in all their glory.

Format:Paperback
"The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal" is a fantastic book. I like the way it is set up with the bios and discographies. And there are some truly amazing photographs inside!
Mr. Bukszpan must have done years of research for all the info that is included in this encyclopedia. It really seems a shame people would concentrate on what bands should or shouldn't be included. I guess it would be impossible to satisfy everyone. But for my money, this is the best book on Heavy Metal that I've come across. If you are or were a fan of metal, do yourself a favor and pick this book up as soon as you can!
Rock on!

This book not only looks great but has a wealth of information. Was a gift for a real music expert and he thought it was fab!
A guitar shredding, riff pounding, blood sweat and tears journey though heavy metal history
18 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Packed to the rafters with heavy metal bands, this book is a must for any metal fan. The forward by the late Ronnie James Dio is truly fitting with this book. This is no generic encyclopaedia... this is a guitar shredding, riff pounding, blood sweat and tears journey though heavy metal history.
