If you wanted to know more about Metallica’s history, aside from the countless of documentaries, biographies and videos you can find at this point in time, wait no more as the band revealed the cover for their next book documenting the story of their 1986 Master of Puppets. Set to be released this coming fall 2016.

The book titled Metallica: Back to the Front was written by acclaimed award winning author Matt Taylor and it will contain a detailed account of the before, during and after the creation of the multi-platinum record with anecdotes, images, memories and tour stories from the band itself.

We all hit the storage lockers, attics and basements to fill the book with hundreds of never-before-seen images pulled from our personal archives and have been involved every step of the way to bring you the complete story. No stone was left un-turned as we gear up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album’s release.

Aside from the band’s personal stories, the book will contain statements by members of Anthrax, Diamond Head, Faith No More and Armored Saint, so if you want to know more about Metallica and this record to brag to your friends, start saving some cash to get it next year.

Black Metal enthusiast from Los Angeles who thought was a good idea to grab a camera and shoot underground shows for the hell of it. Pseudo-writer with little to no expectations of ever winning a Pulitzer but totally down to write about your unknown band if it's good to my ears. I enjoy long walks on the beach, deep conversation, holding hands and attending Satanic music shows every now and then.
