From the colorful, outlandish, yet sophisticated use of visuals for album artwork and posters, to the immediately recognizable logos of such bands as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Metallica, Slayer, and a host of others, there’s a close- knit relationship between the riffs that thunder from the guitar and the images that have come to represent the songs, anthems, and nature of heavy metal. • 400 of the finest examples of metal poster and cover art created by artists specifically for a band • Every genre of metal from traditional metal to NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), thrash metal, black metal, prog metal, nu metal, big-hair metal, doom metal & stoner metal • US and UK metal bands as well as Scandinavian, European, and Australian metal bands • Quotes from artists/illustrators and band members are sprinkled throughout • Foreword by Lemmy What might have begun as a way of packaging metal has taken on a life of its own— moreover, it’s even possible to trace the way the genre itself has evolved, and changed, by looking at its art. This book explores the ways in which the art has helped define each of the crucial subgenres that make up the multifaceted and colorful centipede that is metal.
