What veteran Metal writer Martin Popoff doesn’t know about Heavy Metal you could fit on a postage stamp. The man is a veritable minefield of all things Metal and all thing Metal affiliated. It is then absolutely no surprise that his latest offering into the field of Metal journalism…is about as definitive a piece on the albums that have shaped and will shape the beast that is Heavy Metal. [Popoff’s] irreverent, highly unique and at times hilarious observations on the albums we all know and love is refreshing.… His research reaches an almost obsessed level as he tracks down just what are the best albums in Heavy Metal since time dragged an electric guitar through an overdriven amp.
Much argument, much praise will out in this extraordinary read that will, for the time being, be the benchmark of all things Heavy Metal.
