Book Reviews of Slayer's Reign in Blood (33 1/3)

Book Review: The Mini Encyclopedia of Slayer
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is absolutely astounding must-read stuff for Slayer/metal/music fans of all shapes and sizes. I can tell you this - if you hold Slayer's Reign in Blood in your holy trinity of album releases that would go with you to your metal desert island, then this is definitely your new favorite book. You won't find a more dedicated scribe than D.X., and having been on the inside as he's been working on this book over the past couple of years, The amount of work and interviews that he put into the project is incredible.

Reign in Blood is a true labor of love. More than that, Reign in Blood is a 153 page love letter to a favorite album of many, and a personal gift from Ferris to his fellow legion of Slayer fans worldwide. Basically, if you're a Slayer fan that doesn't already have this book on order from Amazon.com, what are you waiting for?

This is one of my favorite books that I've read this year, and the interview list of folks that Ferris talked to is incredible - nice to see him tracking down guys like Rick Rubin, that you don't see interviews from everyday. Check this book out - hope that you enjoy it as much as I did..

Summary of Slayer's Reign in Blood (33 1/3)

Issued on America's premier rap label at the peak of the thrash metal movement, Slayer's controversial Reign in Blood remains the gold standard for extreme heavy metal, a seamless 29-minute procession of ten blindingly fast, apocalyptic songs. The first English book about Slayer explores the creation of the most universally respected metal album and its long road to the stores, through original interviews with the entire band, producer Rick Rubin, engineer Andy Wallace, cover artist Larry Carroll, and Def Jam insiders from Russell Simmons to M.C. Serch. From Tori Amos to Pantera's Phil Anselmo, dozens of fans and artists discuss the record's ongoing impact and Slayer's status in the small fraternity of rock's greatest groups.
