Paperback Book: 171 Pages
"Swing of the Blade" follows Brian Slagel's critically acclaimed 2017 book, "For the Sake of Heaviness", which delivered a compelling inside look at how a metal-obsessed California teen built Metal Blade Records into the preeminent international home of heavy music.
Rabid readers demanded more anecdotes, more bands and more of Slagel's musical wisdom, and with "Swing of the Blade", he delivers. Featuring a foreword by Slayer's Kerry King, the new book is part memoir, part music-business-primer, and all metal, delving deep into scenes and bands that fans worldwide obsess about.
