The only encyclopedic and definitive book on American indie metal!
If all you know about metal music was what was heard on commercial radio, then you don't know metal at all. Heroes of the Underground profiles 600 American bands from every town and city in the United States who ever released a record.
Metal bands exploded during the 1980s. Influenced by the heavy sounds coming out of Britain via Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, young guitar shredders turned the amps up and played harder and faster. American record companies scooped up a few bands and signed them to major label recording deals (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax), but that left hundreds of bandsand their fanstrying to get their songs heard.
These intrepid metal bands borrowed a page from punk's DIY handbook and did it themselves. Regional favorites. Hometown heroes. Tour van veterans. Bands who invested their life savings into recording and pressing their songs onto albums for a shot at immortality on vinyl.
Fans remember these bands with joy. Collectors seek these records like the Holy Grail. And in Heroes of the Metal Underground, author Alex Anesiadis compiles the details of these bands and their records. Whether you're a true or baby metalhead, Heroes of the Metal Underground will become your guide to all things metal.
Anesiadis was born in 1981 in Thessaloniki, Greece, and is now living between London and Greece. He's finishing his Ph.D. in Media and Communications while
working on all things Social Media. He describes himself as a manic record
collector, trying to get his hands on releases by bands that not many have a
clue about. His previous books, Crossover The Edge and We Can Be The
New Wind, document punk and hybrid punk-metal bands. Alex loves going to small club gigs,
traveling the world, and attempting to keep his daughter and his partner happy!
