Listen to the heavy readers:
"The best, most knowledgeable and all-encompassing book you're likely to find." -- KNAC.com
"The first book to chart the vector of not just metal's origins, but the myriad mutations through which it continues to infect the planet. Your children will not be spared." -- LA Weekly, Best of 2003
"If you're into any form of metal whatsoever, Christe's bible is required reading on all fronts" -- BW&BK
"A damn good job." -- Revolver
"Renewed my faith." -- Metal Maniacs
"At the end of the day, SOUND of the BEAST stands, banging head and denim-bedecked shoulders, above anything of its ilk." -- Infernal Combustion
"The content, frankly, is top-notch." -- DigitalMetal
"Few books on heavy metal music can compare." -- Publishers Weekly
"Christe might as well drop the 'e' from his name, because he has just written the gospel of heavy metal." -- Library Journal
