Heavy : how metal changes the way we see the world

Books
Iconic, obscene and sublime, heavy music is woven into the fabric of modern culture, but how deep do its roots go? This book investigates what defines 'heavy' music, and shines a light on how it has transfused cultures. Drawing a line between heavy music and other art forms, it examines a range of artists - identifying the unifying energy of heaviness - to assess the cultural and social impacts they have made. For true believers in the music, 'Heavy' will give shape and meaning to everything that fascinates them. For the uninitiated, Franklin wants to share something that is as much misunderstood as it is adored.
