Highlighting subgenres and musicians worldwide, this volume demonstrates the depth and breadth of heavy metal, with songs ranging from Link Wray and His Ray Men's Rumble and Metallica's Fade to Black to Prince's Let's Go Crazy and My Chemical Romance's Welcome to the Black Parade.

MacDonald (Air Guitar: A User's Guide) includes about four songs per page, with color photos of an album cover or a record label. Pithy write-ups pack facts, occasional four-letter exclamations, and gossipy asides into the 100 or so words allotted to each song. VERDICT: A quick browse; sure to be a hit with metal fans looking to confirm their favorites or expand their listening repertoire. Library Journal
