From the inbox: Bazillion Points Publishing has a book in the works on the history of prog metal, written by The End Records’ Jeff Wagner.
Scheduled for release in autumn 2009, the book will detail the common movements of pioneers like OPETH, WATCHTOWER, VOIVOD, ATHEIST, DREAM THEATER, PSYCHOTIC WALTZ, CELTIC FROST, SIGH, and FATES WARNING — metal bands who have gone against the tide of tradition and conservatism. Linked by a desire to push heavy metal forward, these varied bands with a couple hundred other black sheep form the hard-to-pin-down category of “progressive metal.”
Included will be a chapter on the genre practitioners’ fetishistic employ of ugly, but great sounding, instruments.
