Description
An Illustrated History of Heavy Metal is the first graphic novel to tell the story of one of the most popular and provocative genres of music with millions of fans across the world. Once heavy metal was the music of Satan and accused of driving it’s fans into suicide or commit murder and burn churches, today the genre has become a part of mainstram culture with French death metal band Gojira even opening the 2024 Olympics.
In the vein of Ed Piskor’s acclaimed and bestselling Hip Hop Family Tree this graphic novel tells the story of the genre from its origin and untill today through a combination of comics and illustrated non fiction. The emphasis is on the compelling and revealing anecdote but it is based on thorough research and knowledge of the genre.
The story is told as a mix tape consisting of 20 important songs and bands ranging from Black Sabbath in 1970 until the acts of today with stops at every important band from Metallica and Slayer to Norwegian black metal. Each song forms a chapter in the book and works as a starting point so that the 20 chapters combined takes you through all aspects of the genre and culture.
An Illustrated History of Heavy Metal is for the novice curious about what heavy metal is all about as well as for the die hard fan who wants to read an engaging and entertaining history of the genre.
