Heavy Metal
From Hard Rock to Extreme Metal
Text by Kory Grow
Here's one for the headbangers! With its loud, aggressive rhythms; slashing guitar solos, and often-disturbing
themes, metal is mesmerizing: it cuts to the bone and takes rock right to the edge. Heavy Metal takes
readers on an in-depth musical journey through this testosterone-fueled style, including its origins,
development, and subgenres, such as thrash, doom, death, and gothic metal. With exclusive pictures and
commentary from experts in the form, it analyzes such groundbreaking bands as Led Zeppelin, Black
Sabbath, Mötley Crüe, Motorhead, Metallica, Megadeth, and Savatage through their sounds, lyrics, themes,
and trend-setting actions.
Kory Grow is the senior editor of Revolver magazine, the United States' largest magazine covering hard rock
and heavy metal. In his career, he's interviewed artists ranging from Metallica to Ozzy Osbourne to Avenged
Sevenfold to Darkthrone. He has also written about heavy metal for Guitar World, Metal Hammer, Decibel,
Alternative Press, the Village Voice, and more. He lives in Astoria, New York, with his wife and cat.
-Sections dedicated to the various types of metal: heavy metal, thrash metal, nu-metal, power metal, death

the whole spectrum of this genre
