The Story Of Metal, Volume 2, follows the genre’s second wave from the 1980s to today. Beginning in 1986, with the game-changing impact of thrash metal and Guns N’ Roses, the book traces metal’s breakneck journey through alt-metal, nu metal, metalcore, and more. It examines the genre’s iconic figures, such as Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne, and its next-generation heroes, including Rammstein, Avenged Sevenfold, and Babymetal. Along the way, readers will explore the wild and wonderful pit stops in metal’s history, including the expansion of subgenres and the emergence of new bands. By the end of the book, readers will have a comprehensive understanding of modern metal, and all the steps that led to its current position. This book is a celebration of over 50 years of metal and all its loud, larger-than-life glory, and a toast to the next 50 years.
