Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Heavy metal and those who follow it have had an important impact on music and the culture in general. This book tries to hit a few of the highlights in an incredibly diverse and broad genre to give you an introduction to what heavy metal is and illustrate how it is impossible to paint broad-brush generalizations about the bands and their fans.
