The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time

The name Martin Popoff should be no stranger to readers of heavy metal journalism…Anyone who knows Mr. Popoff's style can attest to his keen sense of humor and wide knowledge of all forms of metal, of which most, if not all, are covered in this highly entertaining volume.

…Probably the best thing about reading a book like this, is getting re-introduced to albums that you may not have heard in ages. On many occasions I went over to my rather large CD collection while reading this book and pulled out classics by bands like UFO, Saxon, Thin Lizzy, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Kiss, albums by them that hadn't heard in quite a while.

Fans of death metal, black metal, progressive metal, and power metal will be happy to know that bands like Death, Dimmu Borgir, Hammerfall, Stratovarious, Cradle of Filth, Entombed, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Emporer, Nevermore, and host of others also made the grade, making this book one of the best overall snapshots of a varied and wide musical genre that you will ever read.
