Heavy Metal Movies - New Book In Production
May 23, 2013, 11 years ago
Currently in production is the new book, Heavy Metal Movies, by Mike “McBeardo” McPadden, out soon via Bazillion Points Books.
Wherever metal has ventured, heavy movies have followed, blazing ferocious new trails of searing celluloid. The unadulterated journey spans concert movies and trippy midnight flicks from the dawn of heaviosity, inspirational depictions of ancient times and future apocalypses, and today’s raw hand-held digital video productions. Heavy Metal Movies rounds up, reviews, and canonizes all known incidents of heavy metal in motion pictures, including performance films, feature documentaries, occult rock ‘n’ roll horror, primal headbanger characters, soundtrack standouts, namesake inspirations, lyrical references, aesthetic archetypes, and much more. As brash, irreverent, and visceral as both the music and the movies themselves, Heavy Metal Movies is the ultimate guidebook to the complete molten musical cinema experience.
Brooklyn-born Mike “McBeardo” McPadden is the head writer of the online phenomenon Mr. Skin. In addition to years of freelance journalism (Esquire, Black Book, New York Press), and more than a decade as a Hustler editor and correspondent, Mr. McPadden has also done time as a B-movie screenwriter. He lives in Chicago with his wife, xoJane.com editor Rachel McPadden.
