Into the black Metallica story 8365
The acclaimed and ‘definitive’ Metallica history – for fans of Dirt, Slash and all things heavy metal. Years 1991-2014
From the record-breaking success of 1991’s ‘Black Album’ to the band’s reinvention with the Load/Reload albums; from bassist Jason Newsted’s shock departure to the group’s subsequent meltdown as laid bare in the documentary Some Kind of Monster; from the Lulu album with Lou Reed to their hugely expensive feature film Through the Never, the second half of the Metallica story has been as eventful and controversial as it has triumphant.
About the Authors

The first volume of Birth, School, Metallica, Death was published to huge acclaim in 2013.
‘I am a lifelong Metallica “Fan-Girl” since forever (I’m about the same age they are) although I admit I prefer their music from BEFORE “The Black Album”. I’ve stuck with Metallica as a fan all these years in much the same way I’ve stayed friends with old mates from College…though we’ve all changed, and perhaps grown apart somewhat in our lifestyles and interests, I still care about them and am always curious what they are up to! So I was keen to read this book on the more recent “second half” of their career, as I have read pretty much everything else ever written on Metallica’s 1980’s incendiary thrash metal glory years already.
That being said…if you have seen “Some Kind of Monster” and have read any of the Classic Rock Magazine Metallica issues over the years, there is really no “new” or revelatory information here that will surprise or shock you. What IS here however is a very erudite, fun, intelligently written and cohesive story of Metallica’s career since “The Black Album”, with a touch of that dry British humor very much in the style of Mick Wall (if you haven’t read HIS book, Enter Night, I highly recommend that one too!) So if you enjoy anything and everything Metallica, this book is a great addition to your collection. Enjoy it!‘ – Amazon review
