A Heavy Metal History Lesson is the world’s first collection of stories that delve into the historical events and figures that inspired ten different heavy metal songs. Art has long served as a vessel for history—whether through poetry, musicals, literature, or film—presenting world history to the masses, with varying degrees of accuracy. Now, A Heavy Metal History Lesson proves that heavy metal music is just as effective a medium for communicating history as any other form of art. By connecting each song to its historical event and providing in-depth explanations, A Heavy Metal History Lesson aims to educate headbangers about world history and the events that inspired some of their favorite tracks. Learn about the stories that inspired famous songs by Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, and more!
