Heavy Metal Thunder Kick-ass Cover Art from Kick-ass Albums

Heavy metal's brash outrageousness has always been vividly depicted in its album covers, and here is page after page of swords and skulls. Written and compiled by metallers, this compendium charts the late 1970s' incarnations, the MTV era, Nu Metal (with a grunge side trip) and stoners, paying special tribute to Black Sabbath, the godfathers of metal. As much a hilarious romp through bad fashion, the chunky album-cover format will attract die-hard metalheads and 30-somethings.Sherry, James is the author of 'Heavy Metal Thunder Kick-ass Cover Art from Kick-ass Albums', published 2006 under ISBN 9780811853538 and ISBN 0811853535.
