Precious Metal: Decibel Presents the Stories Behind 25 Extreme Metal Masterpieces

Bought this for my other half for Christmas this year and it is so comprehensive and covers most of the bands he likes. Such a great compendium of how albums are put together, the process that goes into it etc. No colour pics and just one of the band at each chapter but it's the content not pictures really. Just fantastic.

The book covers a wide range of albums and genres. The author is very thorough - he only covers albums where all the original members are still alive and willing to be interviewed. Some of them are hilarious... and others are very interesting. I found a few new cool bands I hadn’t listened to after reading this book. I’ve bought a few copies for friends and they think it is a great book, too.

Awesome interviews, very insightful look at death metal and grind core classics from bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Napalm Death, and Repulsion. Lots of great content.

I found this book fascinating cover to cover. Being able to kind of see behind-the-scenes of the making of many classic metal albums has really made me enjoy them even more. There's not much technical audio engineering/production info, but more of the vibe of the recording sessions and how the songs were written and pieced together. Also, reading about bands and albums I had never heard before definitely made me go check them out and add them to my collection. Overall, an excellent reference book for any metal fan's library! Would love to see a Vol. 2 someday!

good stuff in here man
