Metal artists recommend us books
Following the World Book Day (we actually came up with the idea on that day) we decided we would ask what the favourite reads of some Metal musicians are, for the pleasure of curious bookworms like ourselves. Maybe we should start asking about books on our interviews too? Whatever. But please do yourself a favour and have a look at this varied list of titles, Google them, take notes on recommendations and GRAB A BOOK. Rejoice (and enjoy yourself)!
