June 14, 2011, 13 years ago
Bazillion Points Books has posted a preview video of the upcoming Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries 744-page hardcover history/anthology by Jon Kristiansen, the "godfather of Norwegian black metal."
The one-minute clip can be viewed below:
Part anthology, part memoir, and years in the making, Metalion includes over 600 reproduction pages from every issue of Slayer Mag: Slayer 1 through Slayer XX, plus the precursor Live Wire zine-spanning from the early 1980s through 2010. In addition, author Jon Kristiansen recounts his life's story, from alienated outsider to central figure in Norwegian black metal to metal party beast to world-weary metal survivor. The book also features over 100 rare photographs, including two color sections and a portrait gallery of photographs taken by Kristiansen himself. Members of AUTOPSY, AT THE GATES, SUNN 0))), DARKTHRONE, and WATAIN have contributed forewords to the book.
The publisher is accepting pre-orders for signed copies of the book with two bonus embroidered patches at this location.
