Book Description
Uriah Heep and I had a lot in common. We were both Solicitor's clerks in London. Indeed, I became a Solicitor and had rooms in Lincoln's Inn, not far from where Heep's creator, Charles Dickens, introduced us to his protégé in his 1850 novel 'David Copperfield'. Uriah himself was marked by his insincerity and cloying 'umbleness. Today the fictional character Uriah Heep has become a byword for a falsely humble hypocrite. Trouble is I found a good few Uriah Heeps in the legal profession and on its periphery in my 30 years as a Solicitor over a century and a half later. These 'professionals' had learnt nothing from the lessons of Mr Dickens. Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble was, most fittingly, the first album released by the rock band Uriah Heep - in 1970. The genuinely very 'umble Mick Box is the only surviving member from that first line-up who is still in the band. He was part of the 1972 group that conquered the world with the definitive Demons and Wizards album - David Byron, Ken Hensley, Lee Kerslake, Gary Thain and Mick himself. It was the song 'Paradise and the Spell' that got me hooked and led to my enduring admiration for all things Heep. I had just left my Church of England Primary School in 1969 in Brentwood in Essex when the incarnation of Dicken's Uriah Heep emerged. For many years drummer Lee Kerslake lived in Brentwood not far from the Robin Hood Pub where he'd often be found playing the piano and singing along with the locals. A very upbeat and jovial character who told me outside his bank in the High Street in the autumn of 1984 that David Byron "is finished". Lee's time in Brentwood also came to a premature end - he soon had to sell his home to pay the legal fees and costs in his disastrous litigation in the United States with a certain Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon. All over his time with the band Blizzard of Ozz and his unpaid royalties off two albums. The Prince of Darkness had cast Lee Kerslake into a Hell on Earth and it certainly ruined Lee's health in the long term. His lawyers, in hindsight, needed shooting. Sue Ozzy and Sharon - in the United States moreover - at your peril! I'd love to know the legal advice Lee was given.

Book Description
Unsealing the hatch of a rusty old WWII tank will unleash a demonic nightmare in this novel by “the master of modern horror” (Library Journal). Thirty-five years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day turned the tide of World War II against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Reich, and it’s been more than three decades since the residents of the tiny French village of Le Vey witnessed the horrific slaughter of hundreds of German soldiers by thirteen black tanks. One of the tanks remains on the outskirts of town—its hatch mysteriously sealed, trapping its controller inside—only to be discovered by American surveyor and cartographer Dan McCook. Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable compulsion, McCook is about to do the unthinkable and release what lives within the tank upon an unsuspecting world. And once the monstrous occupant reunites with others of its demonic kind, a new world war will begin, one that threatens to wash the earth in blood and drag every man, woman, and child through the fiery gates of hell. A chilling and ingeniously original tale of demonic possession and apocalyptic possibilities, The Devils of D-Day is classic horror at its best, from the award-winning author of The Manitou.

Book Description
From Black Sabbath to Big Black, a ride through the evolution, diversity, and influence of genre-defying heavy music. It began with the Beatles’ “Helter Skelter.” It was distilled to its dark essence by Black Sabbath. And it has flourished into a vibrant modern underground, epitomized by Newcastle’s Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. This is the evolution of heavy music. The voyage is as varied as it is illuminating: from the lysergic blunt trauma of Blue Cheer to the locked grooves of Funkadelic, the aural frightmares of Faust to the tectonic crush of Sleep, alighting on post-punk, industrial, grunge, stoner rock, and numerous other genres along the way. Ranging from household names to obscure cult heroes and heroines, Electric Wizards demonstrates how each successive phase of heavy music was forged by what came before, outlining a rich and eclectic lineage that extends far beyond the usual boundaries of heavy rock or heavy metal. It extols those who did things differently, who introduced something fresh and exciting into this elemental tradition, whether by design, accident, or sheer chance. In doing so, Electric Wizards weaves an entirely new tapestry of heavy music.

Book Description
Few forms of music elicit such strong reactions as does heavy metal. Embraced by millions of fans, it has also attracted a chorus of critics, who have denounced it as a corrupter of youth—even blamed it for tragedies like the murders at Columbine. Deena Weinstein argues that these fears stem from a deep misunderstanding of the energetic, rebellious culture of metal, which she analyzes, explains, and defends. She interprets all aspects of the metal world—the music and its makers, its fans, its dress code, its lyrics—and in the process unravels the myths, misconceptions, and truths about an irreverent subculture that has endured and evolved for twenty years.
