5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best cover art released!!, 20 May 2007

By	Peter Kent "Vile Minds" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Heavy Metal Thunder: Album Covers that Rocked the World is for anyone who loves heavy metal. The book has cd covers from lighter NWOBHM all the way up to Death and Black Metal.

The book is filled with album covers that have been around for the past 30 years. Bands included are: Iron Maiden and Saxon all the way up to Cannibal Corpse and Darkthrone.

Some of the covers are an interesting look including some that were banned due to the nature of their content (i.e: Cannibal Corpse's Butchered at Birth). The book is filled with albums and their covers every metal fan should own.

There are descriptions on the covers and why they rocked the world.

In the foreword by Scott Ian (Anthrax) he admits that some of the albums he owns he bought because of the cover. I'm sure we've all done that once or twice.

All in all this was a very good book and a good read for anyone who wants to improve their knowledge in music.
