Kurzbeschreibung
At first mocked by rock traditionalists, Thrash breathed new life into the rock scene, providing older acts with a much needed kick. It fueled genres such as Thrashcore, Crossover, Speed Metal, Death Metal, and Black Metal—and it propelled one of its own, Metallica, to the very pinnacle of rock's elite. This encyclopedia-style book explores a panoply of bands. The "big four"—Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer—are documented in extensive detail, and scores of other bands are covered as well, including Metal Church, Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Hirax, Sabbat, Celtic Frost, Morded, Sepultura, Pantera, Machine Head, and more. Band listings include histories, global discographies, and photos. It includes a CD with 17 tracks.
Synopsis
Thrash Metal. At first mocked by the Rock traditionalists Thrash would swamp the hard n' heavy world propelling one of it's own-Metallica, to the very pinnacle of Rock's elite. In the early 80s Thrash breathed new life into the Rock scene providing older acts with a much needed kick. This new force opened the floodgates to armies of teens armed with flying Vs, bullet belts and a sense of purpose that would fuel genres such as Thrashcore, Crossover and technical Speed Metal. Without Thrash there would be no Death Metal, no Black Metal. That explosion of aggression has seen subsequent afterblasts, most recently Europe and South America has seen a genuine renaissance of Thrash Metal. Without doubt Thrash Metal continues to make its mark in the biggest possible way. The 'big four'- Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer are all documented here in the greatest possible detail with full, up to the minute histories, exclusive photographs and global discographies. No stone is left unturned in pursuit of knowledge of ex members, rare recordings and career milestones. The author has interviewed all these major acts.Indeed, he was the last journalist to interview Metallica's late Cliff Burton. The early days of Megadeth are straight from the mouth of Dave Mustaine. Also covered are the legion of groundbreaking Bay Area acts such as Metal Church, Testament, Exodus, Death Angel and Hirax. The European Thrash explosion of Kreator, Rage, Destruction, Sodom, Grave Digger and Helloween is also covered in frightening detail. The Pagan Thrash of Sabbat, the avant garde eccentricity of Celtic Frost and the Funk Thrash of Morded- it's all here. The second wave of Thrash with major artists such as Sepultura, Pantera and Machine Head takes the genre right up to the new breed of Thrashers, now a truly worldwide phenomomen. All examined in depth. Thrash Metal is not only alive, it is thriving. If you thought this rawest form of Heavy Metal was consigned to the past this book will deliver a rude awakening! Read the book, buy the records and bang that head!!

Format:Taschenbuch
This is the most thorough metal read ever created. The book is only based on one type of metal, the extreme metal form known as Thrash. Yet the book is 450 pages and never misses anything on any of the bands, even those of the utmost obscurity. It has massive sections dedicated to the Big four of thrash: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. The only problem is that for some readers it may be a little to dry and possibly boring, but not for a true metal affianado. The CD that accompanies this book is superb, it's worth buy this book simply for the live version of Piranha by Exodus on the CD.
Happy reading.
Happy reading.
Good overview of this interesting sub-genre

This is a very worthwhile book for anyone interested in the history and development of the fast driving metal music called thrash. There is excellent and in-depth coverage of the leading bands of the movement, as well as hundreds of lesser known bands. As one would expect, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth receive very thourough treatment. I really enjoyed this part of the book. Finding historical information about Metallica isn't difficult, but to find such thorough coverage of Slayer was a real treat. I do however have two critical observations about the book. First, it was written by a New Zealander who, while obviously having tremendous passion and knowledge about the music, tends to take a very global view of the movement. Many readers may well consider this a great asset, and I admit that much of it is interesting. I however would have preferred to read more detailed coverage of the movement as it occured in the United States, exclusively. The book has many, many pages of obscure European bands that came and went without leaving much of a mark on the history of the movement. Again, many readers may delight in this sort of coverage, so if this is your thing, this book is for you. The other observation that I have is that the book is now somewhat dated. The most glaring example is the coverage of Pantera and Dimebag who was, of course, murdered while performing. The book pre-dates this ugly incident, and therefore makes no mention of it. Other important events have probably occured within the movement that would no doubt be included in an updated edition of the book. Despite these observations, I still recommend it as a well written and interesting book, worthy of inclusion in any Rock library.

Not what I expected.....

I thought this was gonna be more like the Popoff books....in depth reviews of the albums, so you get an idea of what is good and what to avoid. Instead, all you get is lengthy narratives only describing band member changes and album releases, and each band gets a discography. If you really care about Guitarist X replacing Guitarist Y, who then went on to form Band Z, then get this book. If you're trying to get an idea of what the bands sound like or which are the best albums, this won't tell you.
