We bring you the stories behind the craziest decade in metal’s history, through the eyes of the men and women that were right there on the frontlines. Year by year, album by album, from Alice In Chains becoming grunge’s first superstars in 1990 to the rise of black metal in 1991…
From the likes of Sepultura, Machine Head and Type O Negative spearheading the Roadrunner revolution…
…to the amazing, untold story that took The Crow from cult comic to movie phenomenon…
We tracked down Clown and original singer Anders Colsefni to give us the inside story of the birth of Slipknot…
And talk to The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett about how the dance legends invaded metal culture with 97’s game-changing Fat Of The Land…
We also look into the rise and tragic demise of nu metal stars-in-waiting, Snot, whose chance in the 90s spotlight was cruelly snatched away…
And we dissect the fallout of the Columbine massacre and how Marilyn Manson fought back against the media…
Plus, we find out what made thrash and death metal almost come off the rails…
