Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries Review: A MUST have for any fan of metal - Where do I even begin with this book!? I CAN'T set it down, it is SO SO SO good. As a fan of metal/punk/deathrock I know how other books can butcher a legitimate representation of the formation and staple bands of these genres. Many of us have read various books dedicated to the "true" underground genres (many of which are recommended by desertcart below these comments in "books you may also be interested in" cough cough) that just do a horrible job and stop any true fans in our tracks to yell "WHAT? THAT BAND SUCKS! THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG". I mean come on, you can't name drop an incredible band then a page later have some awful band in the same respects, it just leads readers to lose total respect and credibility of the authors understanding for the rest of the way. HOWEVER, Never did I once experience such a thing in this monster of a book. It just continues to throw amazing information and bands in your face. Back to back you can expect to just see killers songs/bands/concerts/tapes/photos/zine cut outs/ artists that demand total respect and worship. This book TAUGHT me information about bands, never did I once feel as I have with other books to second guess the music taste of the author. As a reader, you will definitely understand if you didn't before how incredible Metalion's experience and music taste is. This is the ultimate, and real deal. No book dedicated to metal is as incredible as this. In-between all the amazing bands you get an authentic bio of Metalion/Jon himself and his journey which is equally as addicting to read. I feel GRATEFUL for Jon taking his time to share his experience, he has given true lovers of metal such as myself a view inside a world that the internet just doesn't allow us to properly understand anymore. This is seriously an addition to the metal scene, and metal fans of older or newer generations, you will either learn from this book or feel nostalgia through it, whatever the experience it won't be one that lets you down. This book is a must have for any fans of metal OR anyone interested in learning more about metal [this book will steer you in the right direction with what bands to start out with or look into]! Don't even second guess yourself when it comes to buying this book, there is no way in hell you'd regret it! p.s wah wah wah to the people complaining about how small the font is on some parts of the book, it's 700ish pages can you imagine how ridiculous it would become if he blew up the font?! It's clips of the zine, this is how they looked (and still do!) small font crammed together! Grab your glasses and stop your bitching! It's hardly anything to truly rate this book or respect it any less for. Review: A journey into the romantic years of extreme metal - Plain and simple, this book brings me back fond memories of my formative years as a metalhead. For me, as a brazilian, Slayer Mag has always been kind of a fetish, the magazine that helped unleash european extreme metal. A real hard-to-find item here at the time. I was positively surprised by the richness of what I found inside this heavy book (in both senses, it weights aprox. 6 kg!). Nice stories from Metalion's own experience with members of several scandinavian metal bands serve as introductions to every issue of Slayer Mag. Then you've got first interviews of several classic extreme bands. Arne Babb. Drawings by lots of well known extreme metal musicians - who, at the time, also happened to be zine editors themselves. The list would be endless. For you that's been following metal since the 80's, it will be a really nice add to your collection. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #635,404 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #119 in Heavy Metal Musician Biographies #214 in Heavy Metal Music (Books) #1,239 in Music History & Criticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (158) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 2.25 x 10.75 inches | | Edition | None | | ISBN-10 | 0979616344 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0979616341 | | Item Weight | 5.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 744 pages | | Publication date | July 19, 2011 | | Publisher | Bazillion Points | ## Images ![Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517klToH6yL.jpg) ![Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915Bl-n2EHL.jpg) ![Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41d73S5adSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST have for any fan of metal *by S***X on August 10, 2013* Where do I even begin with this book!?

For me, as a brazilian, Slayer Mag has always been kind of a fetish, the magazine that helped unleash european extreme metal. A real hard-to-find item here at the time. I was positively surprised by the richness of what I found inside this heavy book (in both senses, it weights aprox. 6 kg!).

Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfection of awesomeness *by M***L on March 27, 2014* blew me away! I can't even remember who recommended this to me, but I was expecting a smallish paperback with a few b/w pics. WOW was I wrong!! HUGE book! like a huge brick! absolute quality printing and binding, a mindblower from the start. Worth every penny, in fact worth treble the price, this is a book I'll keep for ever, there's SO much in it OK, maybe you gotta be an early BlackMetal/DeathMetal fan, or a retro GraphicDesigner/fanzine nut to really appreciate this masterwork, but you will not be dissappointed. It's re-print of all the 'SLAYER' underground metal fanzines, with clusterbombs of full color photos and a running commentary of the authors life. It says so much about that time (late80s-2000) early BlackMetal, the murders, the attitudes, music, and just the struggle of growing old. The author Metalion bares his soul, brutally and honestly. I could not have asked for more. I wish him all the luck in the world. Buy this book, you WILL love it.
