I love metal music but could not get into this. Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for a free e-arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. It wasn’t bad but it just wasn’t for me. I think someone who likes metal music would really like this.

Ends up having the problem that black metal has and ends up trying significantly too hard to be "metal" and "brutal" would have been fun if it wasn't trying so hard but it just ends up hurting the whole thing.

I appreciate having had an opportunity to read and review this book. The appeal of this particular book was not evident to me, and if I cannot file a generally positive review I prefer simply to advise the publisher to that effect and file no review at all.
