For over 50 years, heavy metal has endured. During that time it’s topped the charts and languished in cutout bins, mutated into myriad strains, and created as many cultural icons as moral panics. It’s taken root on every continent and steadfastly refused to leave. Death Metal, Black Metal, Hair Metal, Thrash or NWOBHM – it’s all identifiably metal.
In this fold-out guide we chart heavy metal’s evolution by genre and geography, from its progenitors in the British steel towns to church-burning Norwegians. Iran, Nepal, Botswana, China and Japan are all represented, along with the US and UK’s many monsters of rock.
The large format works as a fold-out guide or a poster and comes in its own bespoke folder with three hard-rockin’ stickers.
This is the Metal Mappa Mundi; it’s a metal world, we just live in it.
