It’s party time! Throw open the cemetery gates and jump up on the slab as Roots cranks a creepy cacophony of mood-setting, crowd-bruising heavy metal Halloween anthems. Tracks by Slayer, Shadows Fall, Celtic Frost, Judas Priest, 45 Grave, Mayhem, Acid Witch, and of course King Diamond sound the call. Trick or treat—know your Roots!
Be prepared for any heavy metal party with Bazillion Points books like HEAVY METAL MOVIES, MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW, CHOOSING DEATH, and SOUND OF THE BEAST: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, by Roots host Ian Christe.
