Alex Anesiadis is the author of Heroes of the Metal Underground: The Definitive Guide to 1980s American Independent Metal Bands. This is the only encyclopedic and definitive book on American indie metal! These bands borrowed a page from punk’s DIY handbook and did it all themselves. Regional favorites. Hometown heroes. Tour van veterans. Bands who invested their life-savings into recording and pressing their songs onto albums for a shot at immortality on vinyl.
