WASTE CITY METAL - "Sorcery, Sex, Slashings, & Solos! Obscure '80s Metal Albums" is the sequel to the original WASTE CITY "Splatterific & Sleazeotronic Movies" book. It dives into the vast and wild world of forgotten and buried HEAVY METAL albums from the decade where metal music was still new and fresh and full of insane amounts of hungry upcoming bands looking to get their chance and hopeful big break!
Written by longtime underground metal music and cult film fanatic, Billy "Razorback" Nocera, WASTE CITY METAL chronicles 200 different albums and EP releases from some of the most obscure and unknown bands in heavy metal history. Many of these records had only ever been released once on vinyl and never even received CD reissues, not even decades later! Billy has cherry picked some serious gems from those days, as well as some real rot-fests! Rather than a boring, paint by numbers approach to the bands and albums plagued with dull histories and mind-numbing background information, Billy has taken a more off the cuff and fun approach to these metal obscurities by focusing on the music, lyrics, song titles, and the absolutely incredible and often baffling cover artwork for the albums (which were sometimes better and more entertaining than the actual music itself!).
With an emphasis on all '80s heavy metal subgenres such as THRASH METAL, SPEED METAL, NWOBHM, GLAM and HAIR METAL, HARD ROCK, CROSSOVER and PUNK METAL, as well as PROTO-BLACK/DEATH METAL albums, this 214 page book looks to open up the mysterious curtain of rare bands such as: PROPHACY, FORTRESS, NIGHTMARE, STEEL VENGEANCE, AGENTZ, RUTHLESS, HOWLIN' MAD, MASS, DARK WIZARD, SPECTRE, TORTURE, PALASS, CROWLEY, BLACK TASK, STAINLESS STEEL, HALLOWEEN, WIZZ, FANTOM WARRIOR, MALIBU BARBI, AXE WITCH, GRAVEYARD, METAL SWORD, TILT, MASQUE, CONVICT, RENEGADE, MYSSTRESS, DESPERATE ANGEL, COBRA, DEAD END, TAIST OF IRON, FIGHTER, MASSIVE APPENDAGE, PAIN, SORCERY, AXTON PRYTE, THRASH QUEEN, ATLAIN, VORTEX, LEATHER NUNN, SALEM'S WYCH, DANGER, DAMIEN, PANIC, TROP FEROSS, MEANSTREAK, AFTER DARK, GEDDES AXE, HARDWARE, DEEP THROAT, BLACK FATE, SINFUL, KILLER, DELIVERANCE, OBSESSION, SHERE KHAN, MAD MAX, ADRIAN, BLACKOUT, GODZILLA, SHIRE, WITCHKILLER, HALLOWED, AXE VICTIMS, MYSTO DYSTO, PREDATOR, E-X-E, HYDE, NECROPOLIS, CREMATOR, CITIES, MANIAC, CHAINSAW, MINOTAUR, METAL LADY, HOLOSADE, D.C.
