About the Book

The definitive history heavy metal, with over 100 interviews with members of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Judas Priest, Twisted Sister, Slipknot, Kiss, Megadeth, Public Enemy, Napalm Death, and more. With hundreds of platinum albums to date, heavy metal CDs and ticket sales continue to dominate Billboard and Pollstar charts. More than 30 years after Black Sabbath released the first complete heavy metal album, its founder, Ozzy Osbourne, is the star of THE OSBOURNES, MTV's hippest new reality show. Contrary to popular belief, headbangers and the music they love are more alive than ever. Yet there has never been a comprehensive book on the history of heavy metal - until now. Featuring interviews with members of the biggest bands in the genre, SOUND OF THE BEAST gives an overview of the past thirty-plus years of heavy metal, delving into the personal details of those who created it. Everything is here, from the bootlegging beginnings of fans like Lars Ulrich (future founder of Metallica) to the sold-out stadiums and personal excess of the biggest groups. From heavy metal's roots in the work of breakthrough groups such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin to MTV hair metal, courtroom controversies, black metal murderers, and Ozzfest, SOUND OF THE BEAST offers the final word on this elusive, extreme, and far-reaching form of music. Finally longtime fans of the genre have a true history of their music, and younger fans of groups such as Slipknot and System of a Down can learn where it all began.
