Welcome, all ye who dare enter Sound of the Beast, the first definitive and highly illustrated look at the madness and mayhem of heavy metal.

For fans of distorted guitars and fist-pumping double-bass, "Sound of the Beast" is possibly the most complete collection of information on the Heavy Metal genre. The book begins with the forming of Black Sabbath and follows the Heavy Metal time-line; paying respect to nearly every well-known metal and metal-influenced band.
"Sound of the Beast" not only describes the bands and their influence, but observes the preceding and proceeding society that created, and was influenced by, the many men and women of Metal.
