Slaine The Horned G od
Hunter attempts to explain metal in terms anyone can understand,
starting with his discovery of metal at a young age and ending with is
his fifteen minutes of fame as an image-conscious metal musician. Part
adolescent memoir, part sociological history, Hunter uses his own
experience to explain the history of metal, its sub-genres and its fans.
Not afraid to laugh at the music – and at himself – this book is a
great read for anyone interested in learning more about metal.
The major niggle I – and many other fans – have with this hilarious
romp is that Hunter leaves the world of metal in the nineties when
grunge took over. As far as he’s concerned, that is when metal died.
Given the growing popularity of metal and the plethora of new sounds and
genres that have emerged since the nineties, I definitely think Hunter
could do with listening to some Mastedon.
