Od jeho převratných počátků s Black Sabbath před více než třiceti lety až k hyperaktivním numetalovým seskupením, bořícím žebříčky právě dnes, je heavy metal po celém světě dominantní hudební silou, přesto však, ačkoli dokázal prodat více než čtvrt miliardy desek a prodral se na všechna nová odbytiště, kde jej jen bylo možno zaslechnout, se nikdy nedočkal kompletního přehledu svých temných, mocných a divokých dějin – až nyní. V knize jsou obsaženy heavymetalové primitivní počátky, vzestup a pád hair metalu na MTV, úspěšný boj skupiny Metallica o celosvětovou nadvládu, ďábelské šílení floridského death metalu, paličské běsnění morbidních mladistvých skandinávských teroristů i návrat metalu na hlavní jeviště s Ozzym Osbournem na Ozzfestech.
