(Gibson) A new book will chart the rise of the heavy metal movement, viewed through the prism of Metallica: their influences and the bands that they themselves went on to inspire.

Metallica � The Early Years and the Rise of Metal by music journalist Neil Daniels links the band and the American metal scene in general with the famed "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" movement in the U.K. as well as metal originators such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.

The book tells the story of how Metallica began their rise to global metal domination, and includes rare examples of very early memorabilia as well as interviews with fans who saw the band's earliest shows, and the NWOBHM heroes who inspired them. more on this story
