LOUDER THAN HELL: The Definitive Oral History of Metal
Quench Dad’s thirst for heavy metal knowledge with LOUDER THAN HELL: The Definitive Oral History of Metal, an excellent 736-page oral history of the heavy metal genre that ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY calls “…as indispensable as a skull-adorned leather jacket.” Take it from Barnes & Noble, the largest book retailer in the United States – LOUDER THAN HELL: The Definitive Oral History of Metal is a “Great Read for Dad”!
Compiled from over 400 interviews conducted by respected music journalists Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman, LOUDER THAN HELL: The Definitive Oral History of Metal is a chronological history of heavy metal, told through the words of the men and women who created it, played it, re-invented it, and continue to rock it.
From the creation of Black Sabbath in the late 1960s, to Judas Priest’s development of the leather-and-studs look, to Metallica introducing the world to thrash, to the inception of Ozzfest, to Faith No More accidentally creating the first hybrid of rap and metal, to the provocative exploits of the Sunset Strip scene, to the death and destruction surrounding Norwegian black metal, LOUDER THAN HELL gets to the meat of the metal matter. Features an Introduction by Scott Ian of Anthrax, with an Afterword by Rob Halford of Judas Priest.
Buy LOUDER THAN HELL: The Definitive Oral History of Metal at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com.
THE MERCILESS BOOK OF METAL LISTS
Now you can make those dinner table debates even more interesting by gifting Dad THE MERCILESS BOOK OF METAL LISTS, written by NYC music scene veterans Howie Abrams and Sacha Jenkins. Metal fans thrive on debating each and every detail about the music and its performers— from recording production, to album cover art, to band members’ appearance. THE MERCILESS BOOK OF METAL LISTS is designed for the lot who enthusiastically engage in and thrive on such arguments.
Presented in the form of dozens of factual, random and often outrageous lists, this book flies the flag for true metalheads, as well as the curious observer. Where others have ventured to simply focus on who is best, THE MERCILESS BOOK OF METAL LISTS dares to call many out for being the worst. It points out the triumphs, as well as the miserable failures concerning metal, and recklessly opines on each and every aspect of it, from a diehard fan’s point-of-view.
CRAVEONLINE.COM states, “THE MERCILESS BOOK OF METAL LISTS is the ultimate look at the world of heavy metal via the ease and convenience of a list… Both Jenkins and Abrams have exhaustively researched and brainstormed MERCILESS and delivered a look at their beloved genre that is informative and fun.”
Forward by Kerry King of Slayer, with Afterword by Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, Down).

Till Death: A Guide to Love and Loss
Appeal to Dad’s artistic flair with “Till Death: A Guide to Love and Loss”: a brand new, 70-page, full color hardcover photo book that combines the creative and twisted minds of world renowned rock photographer JEREMY SAFFER and the to-die-for front woman of New Years Day, Ash Costello, in a goth culture romantic horror-comedy with an axe-sharp sense of humor. Our victim is portrayed by Kriz DK of the Genitorturers and Deadstar Assembly.
Till Death… shows the trials and tribulations of a boy as he tries to win the heart of the girl of his dreams (or nightmares). His misadventures hilariously lead him to torture, beatings, loss of vital internal organs, and worse…all in the name of love. Follow Ash Costello as she (literally) catches the eye and captures the heart of an innocent boy in love!
“Till Death… shows what it might be like to date a gothic matriarch, like Morticia, Elvira, Lily, etc. prior to them meeting their Gomez or Herman,” states Jeremy Saffer. “What would a boy would have to go through and endure to win her heart? We really tried to capture the comedic aspects of romantic goth culture and horror, giving the book a Addams/Tales From The Crypt style sense of humor.”
