Description
This unique, authoritative, finely researched volume is the definitive encyclopedia of metal music. It draws on acts relevant throughout the genre's history starting with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin through to current innovators such as Papa Roach, Cradle Of Filth, Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit. Bands from goth, death metal, black metal, thrash metal and glam punk are all included where their legacies (eg Sex Pistols on Nirvana) or present profile (Rancid) make it appropriate to do so. Entries for each major artist feature a classic line-up list and an also-played line-up of members, plus an 'influence on' key, listing the bands, - helping readers to trace key players through the rock family tree. Illustrated throughout with the best photography from the last 30 years of rock music, this is the ultimate reference for fans of all metal music, all over the world.

Just to let you know, I am a trivia freak. I love collecting useless information and storing it away waiting for the moment to dazzle someone with my knowledge of useless information. That being said, this book is full of errors...Here is a (very condensed) list of errors that I found:1. On the Type O Negative page it states that their album called "The Origin of the Feces" is a live album when it is not. Granted, it is made to sound like a live album, but it is not, and 2 minutes of research this could have been cleared up.2. On the Cult page, it said that they (The Cult) had an infleuence on Sound Garden. I don't know about you, I don't know of Sound Garden....I have heard of a little band called Soundgarden (one word).3. On the Cradle of Filth page, it mentions an album called Bitter Suites to the Succubi....when it should be "Bitter Suites to Succubi."4. On the Ratt page, it mentions a band called Kixx....maybe they meant Kix.5. On the Queensryche page, it named an album called Hear in the new frontier.....again...no such album...it is called "Hear in the Now frontier."So you can see my frustration...these are examples from bands that I know something about. What about the bands that I'm unfamiliar with. I don't want to be filled with bad information when I try to learn about other bands for the first time.Oh yeah...one more thing...what the hell is up with Opeth getting 1/4 of a page when Limp Bizkit, Blink 182 and other such suckass bands get their own page, full color etc. It's a good thing that I really never read Metal Hammer magazine (Chris Ingham does something for them..I can't remember what it is...but instead of guessing and being wrong, I'll just let you know that I don't know)....If I did, I probably wouldn't know one thing about real metal...(at least anything true)
