Plus, readers will get: 20 chapters based on interviews with Black Sabbath, Metallica, Slayer, W.A.S.P., Slipknot, and over 100 of heavy metal's greatest bands. Included here are heavy metal's primitive origins, the rise and fall of MTV hair metal, Metallica's successful quest for world domination, the devilish frenzy of Florida death metal, the church-burning fever of Scandinavia's morbid teen terrorists, and metal's return to center stage at the hands of Ozzfest and Ozzy Osbourne. Pieced together through countless hours of research and first-hand accounts from the masters of metal themselves, Sound of the Beast reveals the underground history to the first three decades of headbanging mania. Yet despite selling over a quarter-billion albums and breaking into new markets wherever it can be heard, there has never been a complete overview of metal's dark, powerful, and untamed history, until now. From its cataclysmic beginning with Black Sabbath over 30 years ago to the hyperactive new metal bands ripping apart the charts today, heavy metal has become the dominant musical force around the globe. Summary: Welcome, all ye who dare enter Sound of the Beast, the first definitive look at the madness and mayhem of heavy metal.
