From the colourful and outlandish use of visuals for album artwork
and posters, to the immediately recognizable logos of the bands
involved, there's a close-knit relationship between the riffs which
thunder from the guitar and the images which have come to represent
the songs and anthems of metal music. Showcases 400 of the finest
examples of metal poster and cover art and is the first book ever
to concentrate specifically on work created by artists working in
this genre of music. Spans the entire 50-year history of metal,
from the earliest proto-metal bands of the 1960s to the most recent
releases. Every genre is represented, including Traditional Metal,
NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), Thrash Metal, Black
Metal, Prog Metal, Nu Metal, Big Hair Metal, Doom & Stoner
Metal. As well as US and UK metal, Scandinavian, European, and
Australian metal are also represented. Each chapter begins with a
1,000-word overview of the featured era; detailed information about
the designers, the bands, the artist/s influences is given in
detailed captions accompanying each poster. Each chapter includes
two special features: one on a particularly influential artist or
group of artists; the other, covers a wide range of subjects - from
metal tattoos to famed photographers, and from magazines, metal
merchandise and metal movies to fashion and even metal humour.
Quotes from artists/illustrators, and a selection from band members
themselves, are featured throughout.
