Ian Christe is king of the metalheads. We know it’s hard to hear, headbangers, and we’re sure your record collection is appropriately trv, but this guy wrote the book. Literally. His book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal , first published in 2003, contains over 400 pages of hard-rocking history and has been translated into German, Czech, Finnish, French, Japanese, and Spanish, among others (more on that later). Ian has since translated his incredible knowledge of all things heavy into the popular Sirius Satellite Radio show Bloody Roots , where every week he ” preaches a lesson in heavy metal heritage, with inside stories and tons of rare music from all of metal’s many subspecies,” and Bazillion Points Books , which published Swedish Sensationsfilms earlier this year (read our interview with author Daniel Ekeroth here ) and next year will bring Heavy Metal Movies to life with our own Mike McBeardo . Throw the horns with Ian Christe after the jump!
