Book Reviews of Metal: The Definitive Guide

Book Review: Metal History at it's finest!
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved the attention to detail involved in this book. All the nitty gritty details about all of the metal bands in a variety of genres. This is a great book for anyone interested in getting a comprehensive guide to many of the founding fathers of various metal styles. After reading through some of the different sections I was inspired to explore some different styles of metal that I had not been too interested in before reading the book. I would highly recommend this book to any metalhead or person interested in knowing more about heavy metal and its different styles.
