This week hot-blooded metal lays down in a cold, gothic crypt, with romantic themes of death and disillusion from goth rock originators Christian Death, Killing Joke, and Fields of the Nephilim, plus morose goth and metal marriages by Celtic Frost, Tiamat, Type O Negative, Lacuna Coil, Tribulation (pictured), Mortiis, Moonspell, and more…. Feel the cold, and know your Roots!
Metal history in the words of the creators now lives in Swedish Death Metal, Choosing Death, Murder in the Front Row (including some of the very first photos taken of Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, Death Angel and others), Sound of the Beast, NYHC, and many more at BAZILLION POINTS Books.
