Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia del Heavy Metal

The first time the Heavy Metal concept arose was in a novel by the great cursed of literature, William Borroughs. It was in 1962, the story is called "The soft machine", and he used it to define one of his characters, Uranian Willy, as a "heavy metal kid". Since then, rock's sister genre has skyrocketed in bands, streams, and followers. These pages delve into a musical ecosystem that encompasses a worldwide network of fans trying to escape everyday vulgarity and protest against established politics, through the synthesis of traditional rock and roll and the blues. This is how we will meet for the first time, in a book written in Spanish, epic stars that live on distant planets with gods from other times that deal with weeks full of Saturday nights. A musical ecosystem with a legend marked by junkies, satanists, brawlers, born-again Christians, millionaire globetrotters, massive concerts and a lot of "good vibes". With an encyclopedic knowledge and an unwavering passion for the genre, Mariano Muniesa and Mariskal Romero, combining pioneering knowledge with the great present of metal chronicle, review the non-canonical, untold and often distorted history of Heavy Metal. Stories of excesses but also of glory. From Ozzy Osbourne to Lemmy to Metallica, from the new wave of British heavy to the Norwegian underground black metal scene. If you're nodding your head, if you're headbanging as you read these lines and your horns are shooting off your fingers... this is your book. But if you've been stunned, you should also read it to finally understand that Heavy Metal is a way of understanding the world.
