Here we have another cool release by Bazillion Points. I just have to say that they are one of my favorite
publishers. They just continue to press books that really speak to me. Already
they’ve release such great titles as Swedish
Death Metal and Metalion: The Slayer Mag
Diaries.
Initially I expected this book to be like Destroy All Movies: The Complete Guide to Punks
on Film. That book covered every movie imaginable that had some sort of
punk rock element (fantastic book that I need to review as well). However Heavy
Metal Movies is not limited to the music or culture on a film. It covers any
movie that would seem to appeal to heavy metal listeners, everything from
movies that have a metal soundtrack, documentaries, concert films, metal
musicians acting to insane b-movies.
It’s definitely a great reference guide for looking up everything from the
typical classics to long lost favorites. Although not completely illustrated,
it still has a fair amount of rare movie posters that will remind you of a time
long ago. At 560 pages, there’s a wealth of useless, yet fun knowledge. I
highly recommend it. This is definitely not a book that will collect dust on
my shelf!Also below check out a good interview with the author.
