'Hellraisers: A Complete Visual History of Heavy Metal Mayhem' Out Now!


Take a journey through the history of metal music with MetalSucks' own Axl Rosenberg and Christopher "Emperor Rhombus" Krovatin! From its earliest roots with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to its popular modern incarnations like experimental black metal, stoner doom, and djent, "Hellraisers" is a superfan's-eye-view exploration of metal’s most innovative and hardcore sounds that can be heard around the world. This is a visually dynamic history that includes a foreword by Trivium's Matt Heafy, cover art by Mark Riddick (Arch Enemy, Suffocation), exclusive band interviews, over 200 photos, genre-by-genre playlists, and plenty more to keep you throwing horns all night long.

"A great gift for your idiot friend who doesn’t know anything about good music." - Brendon Small, creator of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse and frontman of Dethklok "Informative and funny. I laughed so hard, my scrotum exploded." - J.R. Hayes, Pig Destroyer "Think of this book as the literary version of stealing your older brother/sister’s records when you were a kid." - Mike Schleibaum, Darkest Hour "A crash course in all things metal. From Thrash Metal to Black Metal, Glam to Deathcore bullshit, this is a comprehensive book that covers a wide variety of bands and genres. Worth it even just for the pictures.” - Joel Grind, Toxic Holocaust
