Great picks! The Metal Blade one has been sitting in my basket for a good six years 🤣 On the music bio side, I’d definitely recommend Sebastian Bach’s, just for the sheer honesty he brings to the book. It’s a pretty fun read! Another one that might pique your interest is The Secret Life of a Satanist, Anton LaVey’s biography written by Blanche Barton, his confidant and administrator of the Church of Satan. His life was absolutely bizarre, especially his connections to Hollywood and American culture-bonus points for the mention of King Diamond in the book. And one of my main goals this year is to self-release my first album under Paranoia Church this summer. It’s a horror-themed Traditional Metal project, so I think it fits the bill. 😉 Cheers! Stay heavy!🤘🏼
Here are a few book recommendations that spontaneously come to mind - IMMOLATION - Into Everlasting Fire - The Official History of Immolation - Turned Inside Out - The Official Biography of Obituary - ANCIENT STREAMS OF WISDOM - The History of Death & Extreme Metal - Daniel Ekeroth - Swedish Death Metal - Dayal Patterson: Black Metal - Evolution Of The Cult
There r several heavy metal autobiographies that I can recommend: "Mustaine: a heavy metal memoir"... by Dave Mustaine, Joe Layden... about the Megadeth frontman's career. "Run to the Hills: Iron Maiden, the authorized biography"... by Mick Wall, Chris Ingham... about Iron Maiden Motley Crue has 2 books worth reading - 1) "The Dirt"... by Motley Crue, and 2) 'The he+++n diaries' by Nikki Sixx, Ian Gittins 'Walk this way: the autobiography of Aerosmith' ... by Aerosmith & Stephen Davis 'I am Ozzy' ... by Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Ayres (This book is hilarious!) 'Hammer of the Gods' ... by Stephen Davis, about Led Zeppelin 'Death by metal: the history of Chuck Schuldiner'...by Rino Gissi, about the late Death frontman AC/DC books - 1) 'The lives of Brian' ... by Brian Johnson, and 2) 'AC/DC: Maximum rock n' roll' ... by Murray Engleheart & Arnaud Durieux 'Rainbow in the dark: the autobiography'... by Ronnie James Dio 🤘🤘 Mick Wall, Wendy Dio 'White line fever' ... by Lemmy Kilmister & Janiss Garza, about the iconic Motorhead frontman... also 'Lemmy: the definite biography'... by Mick Wall Judas Priest books - 1) 'Heavy Duty: Days & nights in Judas Priest'... by K.K. Downing and Mark Eglington, and 2) 'Confess: the autobiography'... by Rob Halford
For horror book, I recommend Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. This is the synopsis: Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human... But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders. Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who-or what-is doing the killing. But can she do it in time to stop the massacre?
I read the Hot Zone back in 2013 or so, great GREAT novel. It not only details the real event in the US but is also a criticism of the US government at the time for sweeping this incident under the rug. One of the best medical thriller books I've ever read.
If you want some sludge metal to listen to after the Doomed To Fail book, I recommend D.A.M.N. By Greenmachine and Torso by Grief. Very underrated sludge albums ^^
I wrote a thrash metal theme song for my WW II Vampire novel The Last Night To Kill Nazis which is available nationally at Barnes and Noble from Clash Books. My short story collection Amazing Punk Stories has a short story about a drummer for a black metal band. Cool to find your channel.
If you're interested in horror that will fuck with your head on a primal cosmic horror level, I recommend Lovecraft (obvs), Thomas Ligotti, Matthew M. Bartlett, Jon Padgett, John Langan, Laird Barron, Philp Fracassi and Brian Evenson. Dunno what would be considered a "metal" horror book per se, but those authors push the envelope on what is truly disturbing.
I miss the days when people weren’t glued to their phones and shoving iPads in their kids faces just to keep them quite 🤣 I also wish I had been an adult during the age of vinyl/cassettes and print media because I prefer physical over digital every time.

i know i’m an old head but i miss the pre digital age for metal and horror
Yeah, back when metal and horror weren't mainstream and were interested in by those who seriously wanted to get into them.
I miss the days when people weren’t glued to their phones and shoving iPads in their kids faces just to keep them quite 🤣 I also wish I had been an adult during the age of vinyl/cassettes and print media because I prefer physical over digital every time.
Have you listened to Cryptopsy’s “None So Vile?” It’s sooooooo good
If you like cannibals, you should definitely read Off Season by Jack Ketchum.
Interesting ❤
Thanks! glad you like it! 🙏
Sei bellissima 🌹
