Bazillion Points Books has announced the May release of Heavy Metal Movies, by Mike "McBeardo" McPadden. Lavishly illustrated, gruesomely executed, and featuring well over 1,000 of the most intense and headbanging movies ever produced, Heavy Metal Movies is the ultimate guidebook to the complete molten musical cinema experience. Pre-orders are now available, and will ship in May with bonus fabric patch and artisan barf bag.

Years in the making, Heavy Metal Movies is an apocalyptic overview of a century of loud, inspiring, groundbreaking, taboo, revolutionary, disgusting, and uplifting cinema fused at the roots to the DNA of heavy metal and its million offshoots. What began as a simple quest to identify the 666 heaviest films of all time exploded in the hands of Mike McPadden (Esquire, Penthouse) into an overwhelming bible of apocalyptic slasher festivals and full metal worship.

"The final masterpiece weighs in at 576 pages, complete with color section and original cover artwork by Andrei Bouzikov. As always, we have created exclusive bonus treasure for pre-orders, in this case a color fabric patch (for your denim movie vest) and a super-powerful hand-crafted artisan barf bag for your protection against the shocking secrets of Heavy Metal Movies. Pre-order today, for May 2014 delivery—and thank you for spreading the word and letting everyone know about our latest metallic literary creation!"
