Keith Kahn-Harris has been writing about metal since the mid-1990s and he is one of the founders of Metal Studies as a discipline.

'A tremendous book which deftly explains how Ozzy was emblematic of metal as a whole: flawed, vital, ridiculous yet sublime' Dan Franklin, author of Heavy: How Metal Changes the Way We See the World
'Spellbinding … with verve and intelligence Kahn-Harris makes the case that the nutrients of this once maligned subculture feed the mind as plentifully as the gut. Can metal teach us how to live? Of course it can, it IS life' Ian Winwood, author of Bodies: Life and Death in Music
'Authoritative but not pompous, tender but not sentimental, and suffused with Keith Kahn-Harris’s love of the music, this is the only book that captures what matters most about metal' Michael Hann, author of Denim and Leather: The Rise and Fall of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal
‘Keith Kahn-Harris shows us that by channelling our higher Ozzy we may discover a path towards the better angels of our nature’ Tariq Goddard
