“Este promete ser a obra definitiva sobre a ascensão do Black Metal, aquela que coloca todos os livros anteriores sobre o tema para descansar. Em vez de basear sua pesquisa em artigos de tabloides, Dayal entrevistou MUITAS pessoas envolvidas na cena, certificando-se de que apresenta fatos, não teorias vagas ou suposições. Junte isso com seu amplo conhecimento do assunto e sua escrita muito habilidosa.” Dolgar (GEHENNA)

Celebrando álbuns matadores dos anos 80 e 90. O período entre 1983 e 1993 incorporou mutações significativas no mundo da música pesada, tanto em termos criativos quanto tecnológicos. Em meio a uma miríade de lançamentos de bandas que engajaram em novas sonoridades e usufruíram de maior apelo comercial, muitos álbuns excelentes foram ofuscados e insuficientemente absorvidos por não estarem na crista da onda. Aqui é possível conferir preciosos detalhes sobre dez deles: Metal Anarchy (Warfare), Scandinavian Jawbreaker (Anti-Cimex), A Time of Changes (Blitzkrieg), Prime Evil (Venom), Power Games (Jaguar), Filth Hounds of Hades (Tank), The Upcoming Terror (Assassin), Shotgun Justice (Razor), Monolith (Amebix), Master (Master), Acompanha adesivos e mini pôster exclusivos. Tamanho A5,couchè 115g, 80 páginas, 1ª Edição janeiro de 2021.
Escrito por Martin Popoff, “Born Again” disseca cada um dos álbuns de estúdio e a história do Black Sabbath nas décadas de 80 e 90. Portanto, neste livro vemos as queixas e glórias de Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin e como eles comentam sobre a banda Tony Iommi, que bravamente manteve o Black Sabbath por muitos anos de sangue, suor e lágrimas.
“Heaven and Hell”, “Mob Rules”, “Live Evil”, “Born Again”, “Seventh Star”, “The Eternal Idol”, “Headless Cross”, “Tyr”, “Dehumanizer”, “Cross Purposes”, “Forbidden Reunion” estão todos neste volume, música por música, com todas as contratações e demissões de integrantes destacadas e explicadas. São mais de 60 entrevistas conduzidas com membros da banda e outras pessoas relevantes.
Sobre o autor
Martin Popoff escreveu mais de 100 livros, incluindo biografias sobre Whitesnake, Saxon e Accept, além de muitas outras. Ele também trabalhou em vários projetos para a Banger Films, incluindo o premiado documentário “Beyond the Lighted Stage”. Popoff publicou mais resenhas de álbuns em livros (aproximadamente 7.900) do que qualquer pessoa na história.
Estados Unidos, meados dos anos 80. Após a ascensão do thrash metal, outra revolução começou a perturbar a cena pesada: o nascimento do feroz death metal. E bem no coração dessa tempestade, um grupo se moveu ao ponto de praticamente batizar o gênero – DEATH, guiado pela tenacidade e perseverança de um garoto que não abriria mão dos seus sonhos com facilidade.
Seu nome é CHUCK SCHULDINER.
Graças a Chuck, com o passar dos anos o DEATH se tornou uma complexa máquina de guerra. Longe dos estereótipos e clichês da corrente musical que a banda ajudou a criar, a banda elevou a própria ideia de heavy metal a um nível superior que poucos ousaram tocar.
Traçando os eventos mais importantes da vida e carreira de Chuck, extraindo detalhes daqueles que o conheciam de perto e examinando todos os seus álbuns do ponto de vista musical e lírico, este livro celebra a vida e obra de um grande artista, cuja contribuição tem importância seminal na história do heavy metal. Um garoto que sempre gostou de pensar com a própria cabeça e que vivia pela música, mas cujo sonho foi prematuramente interrompido, aos trinta e quatro anos de idade, por uma doença cruel que levou sua vida.
Lançada em maio de 2020, a primeira edição do livro DEATH BY METAL se esgotou em apenas 4 meses, deixando centenas de fãs frustrados por não terem conseguido adquirir a obra. Para celebrar o absoluto sucesso de vendas, a editora Estética Torta traz ao mercado uma nova edição limitada, novamente em capa dura, dessa vez com ilustração de capa desenhada pelo artista colombiano Alejandro Ariza Rosales, que emula a estética das cassetes primitivas de death metal, miolo com corte trilateral preto, além de alguns ajustes internos, acréscimos e melhoramentos em relação à primeira edição.
Também é possível adquirir, junto com essa nova edição, uma camiseta exclusiva com a arte da capa, em tiragem super limitada.

Denim And Leather: Os 10 primeiros anos do Saxon conta em detalhes os dez primeiros álbuns dessa lendária banda inglesa e pioneira da New Wave of British Heavy Metal, movimento musical que começou em 1970 e catapultou grupos como Iron Maiden, Venom, Def Leppard, Diamond Head, entre outros.
O livro foca na era de ouro do Saxon. “Saxon”, “Wheels of Steel”, “Strong Arm of the Law”, “Denim and Leather”, “Power & the Glory”, “Crusader”, “Innocence Is No Excuse”, “Rock the Nations” e “Destiny” são capítulos autônomos dedicados, dentro dos quais o autor Martin Popoff desconstrói cada música em ambos os lados do vinil original, sem esquecer as faixas bônus e os lados B, bem como o material ao vivo, incluindo “The Eagle Has Landed”.
Neste livro, os fãs do Saxon terão a oportunidade de ler em detalhes o que Biff Byford (vocal), Graham Oliver (guitarra), Paul Quinn (guitarra), Steve Dawson (baixo) e Pete Gill (bateria), criaram e desenvolveram nos dez primeiros anos.
São mais de 350 páginas do mais puro Heavy Metal com muito conteúdo específico sobre os álbuns, entrevistas inéditas, todos os fatos curiosos da banda e dados inéditos sobre os álbuns que compreenderam os dez primeiros anos do Saxon.
Perca o fôlego nesta temporada pelo inferno e aventure-se por um best-seller do New York Times: a história de um sobrevivente, num dos mais “angustiantes” (Rolling Stone) e “comoventes” (The New York Times) livros de memórias sobre o vício já publicados. Nikki Sixx, o rock star antes despedaçado, compartilha passagens viscerais de seus diários do ano em que se lançou ao desespero, quando gastou milhares de dólares em drogas e chegou a ser declarado morto. Um relato impressionante da vida até o limite da decadência e a corajosa decisão de se levantar e começar a viver novamente. Em fotos inéditas e novos capítulos exclusivos nesta edição atualizada e comemorativa de dez anos, Sixx reflete sobre estar sóbrio há mais de uma década. Número de páginas: 432
HOLY DIVER, é uma adaptação oficial para os quadrinhos da história por trás das músicas do principal álbum de Dio.
Escrita pelo aclamado roteirista de quadrinhos de terror Steve Niles, a HQ contará a história por trás dos eventos que levaram ao pesado momento capturado na capa de Holy Diver, uma das capas mais icônicas da história do heavy metal. Por que o padre está sendo atirado no oceano? Quem é de fato o vilão naquela cena? Essas e muitas outras perguntas que intrigam a mente de fãs há décadas serão respondidas pela primeira vez.
Desenhada por Scott Hampton (Deuses americanos, O livro do cemitério, Hellboy), essa história em quadrinhos de 128 páginas levará todo o imaginário da obra musical de Dio a um novo patamar visual, dando forma e vida a músicas que marcaram toda uma geração. Com capa dura e acabamento especial.
Como é possível que um aspirante a guitarrista sem dois dedos tenha inventado um gênero musical baseado justamente em riffs de guitarra? Em resumo, essa é a história de Tony Iommi, o pai fundador do heavy metal. Com o Black Sabbath, ele construiu o alicerce de onde toda música pesada se origina. Nas palavras de Eddie Van Halen: “Ele é o criador do peso. Ele pegou o rock ‘n’ roll e o transformou em heavy metal”. Com capítulos curtos e saborosos, essa autobiografia cobre todas as fases da vida do artista. A infância em Birmingham, a descoberta da música, o acidente que mudou sua vida e todas as conquistas e loucuras que vieram depois, quando o Sabbath imprimiu seu nome no panteão dos grandes nomes do rock.

“A história mais incrível da história da música... um livro realmente pesado” – Kerrang!
No final do último milênio na Europa, mais de uma centena de igrejas foram queimadas e profanadas por pessoas relacionados ao black metal, certamente a mais extrema das correntes musicais. Aderindo a uma verdadeira guerra sacrílega, as bandas de black metal e seus fiéis e obcecados fãs deixaram um legado implacável de suicídios, assassinatos e terrorismo que ultrapassou as fronteiras da Noruega, chegando à Alemanha, Finlândia e Estados Unidos.
Com centenas de fotos raras e dezenas de entrevistas com músicos, padres, policiais, fãs e os principais protagonistas dos eventos narrados, LORDS OF CHAOS se tornou um livro aclamado em todo o mundo, servindo de inspiração para o filme de mesmo nome, lançado em 2019, bastante elogiado pela crítica especializada.
Escrito por dois jornalistas pessoalmente interessados nos fatos, a primeira edição edição brasileira de LORDS OF CHAOS, limitada a 666 cópias, esgotou-se em apenas 3 meses, deixando centenas de fãs e interessados órfãos e sedentos por uma nova edição. Para celebrar o sucesso de vendas, e atender a demanda ainda existente pela obra, a editora Estética Torta apresenta ao público uma nova edição do livro, com novo projeto gráfico, 666 páginas e acabamento mais luxuoso, com pintura trilateral preta.
Uma obra essencial não apenas para os fãs de black metal, mas para todos que desejam se aprofundar nos aspectos formativos de um gênero musical que influenciou toda uma geração.

Agony and ecstasy are heralded in Watain’s latest full-length album as fundamental pillars of the fanatic black metal world of the Swedes for the past quarter of a century.

Sampler CD:
01. THE STONE ‘Mrtvog Negativ’
Decades of experience on the Serbian metal scene has magnified the hate to release a new album where black metal is again dark, menacing, vicious, and remarkably aggressive.
02. CARDIAC ARREST ‘It Takes Form’
With their sixth album, the Chicago based quartet discloses a facet that not only brings the best out of the band but surpasses all their previous death metal attempts.

Gathering some of the best musicians of the metal scene and the motivation to create an interesting blend of old school death metal, this immediately aroused the attention of fans of the genre.

A passage through the world of occult doom metal, based on the very early “rockish” period of the genre where bands focused on creating horror driven melodies full of character and lasting patterns.
05. UNDERSAVE

Oppressive and doom-laden death metal structures that brew old school European influences, especially from the Finnish scene.
09. KYTERION ‘Cerbero Il Gran Vermo’

Main man Shadow surrounded himself with talented and well-known musicians for an emotional farewell to one of Beastcraft’s founding members, Alastor Nefas.
11. EXEKUTION ‘Epic Hangover’

12. SURGERY ‘Paradise’
Despite not being a new band nor youngsters any more, they managed to fuse pure energy and intensity with death metal on their 2nd opus from Support Underground!
13. SOLFERNUS ‘Once Upon A Time In The East’
With a twelve year gap in between albums, the Czechs now return fronted by Root’s bass player for a more diversified offering, where in the place of furious blasting tempos has grown emotion, a vital black metal aura, and a dynamism not found previously.
14. MACABRE DECAY ‘Angel Of Decay’
Displaying their Swedish death metal heritage on a debut that mixtures raw tradition with a strong impetus to sound exciting.
15. BATTLESWORD ‘Tongues Of Hatred’

Digging graves might be something that the Czech thrash metal quartet does for fun, yet on their debut album they seem quite alive.

POSTERS
NECROPHOBIC & DIMMU BORGIR
01. THE STONE ‘Mrtvog Negativ’
Decades of experience on the Serbian metal scene has magnified the hate to release a new album where black metal is again dark, menacing, vicious, and remarkably aggressive.
02. CARDIAC ARREST ‘It Takes Form’
With their sixth album, the Chicago based quartet discloses a facet that not only brings the best out of the band but surpasses all their previous death metal attempts.
03. VORACIOUS SCOURGE ‘Fortuity Of The Deceived’
Gathering some of the best musicians of the metal scene and the motivation to create an interesting blend of old school death metal, this immediately aroused the attention of fans of the genre.
04. ABYSMAL GRIEF ‘Ruthless Profaners’
A passage through the world of occult doom metal, based on the very early “rockish” period of the genre where bands focused on creating horror driven melodies full of character and lasting patterns.
05. UNDERSAVE
‘Hereditary Condemnation Through Immunity’
A vile response from the Portuguese scene towards some of the best US death metal bands. On “Sadistic Iterations…” they have evolved and introduced more variation to the compositions.
06. ENDLESS ‘Destroy My Life’
Death metal brutality taken to an extreme, violent, and compelling edge that will satiate the hunger of ruthless metal fans.
07. DRUKNROLL ‘Unbalanced’
Compelled with a type of strength not seen in many established bands, the Russians cross frontiers with their intricate and progressive mix of styles.
08. PETRIFICATION ‘Hollow Of The Void’
Oppressive and doom-laden death metal structures that brew old school European influences, especially from the Finnish scene.
09. KYTERION ‘Cerbero Il Gran Vermo’
Being sung in the 13th century Italian vernacular language undoubtedly emphasizes the vicious tremolo patterns, making this enigmatic band so enthralling.
10. BLACK ALTAR ‘Tophet’
Main man Shadow surrounded himself with talented and well-known musicians for an emotional farewell to one of Beastcraft’s founding members, Alastor Nefas.
11. EXEKUTION ‘Epic Hangover’
Though nuclear radiation and alcohol might be the sole cause for such effusive thrash metal rhythms, it’s in the playground that they have fun.
12. SURGERY ‘Paradise’
Despite not being a new band nor youngsters any more, they managed to fuse pure energy and intensity with death metal on their 2nd opus from Support Underground!
13. SOLFERNUS ‘Once Upon A Time In The East’
With a twelve year gap in between albums, the Czechs now return fronted by Root’s bass player for a more diversified offering, where in the place of furious blasting tempos has grown emotion, a vital black metal aura, and a dynamism not found previously.
14. MACABRE DECAY ‘Angel Of Decay’
Displaying their Swedish death metal heritage on a debut that mixtures raw tradition with a strong impetus to sound exciting.
15. BATTLESWORD ‘Tongues Of Hatred’
Melodic death metal full of intensity, passion and lively rhythmic intricacies that display a German quintet in their fullness.
16. ELÄNDE ‘Preludium’
Roughly translated as “Kingdom of Death”, the debut album of this Norwegian trio is heavily influenced by the glorious early ‘90s Scandinavian black metal scene.
