Australijka Jaclyn Bond w niedawno opublikowanej książce wybrała setkę najlepszych heavy metalowych albumów w historii muzyki.
Książka pod tytułem ”100 Best and Absolute Greatest Heavy Metal Albums in the World, ever” jest dostępna w serwisie Amazon.com w cenie £7.79: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Absolute-Greatest-Heavy-Metal-Albums/dp/9185869651
W książce znalazły się opisy i ciekawostki związane z wydaniem każdego albumu, a także trochę historii zespołu. Na stronie NME.com znajdziecie mały przedsmak zawartości książki.
Na samej liście, bez większych niespodzianek. Najwięcej albumów wprowadzili odpowiednio: Metallica 4, Slayer 3, Black Sabbath 3 i Iron Maiden 3.
Na uwagę zwraca również polski akcent i wysoka ocena albumu ”Demigod”, autorstwa gdańskiej grupy Behemoth.
