METALLICA Book Author To Part In Online Chat

August 11, 2008

Joel McIver, author of METALLICA's unauthorized biography "Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica", will take part in an online chat at the METALLICA fan site The 4 Horsemen tonight (Monday, August 11) at 8:00 p.m. GMT (4:00 p.m. EST). Joel was one of a number of UK-based heavy rock writers who were given a preview of six tracks from the upcoming METALLICA album, "Death Magnetic", on June 4 in London.

Released in 2004 via Omnibus Press, "Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica" was the result of over five years of research and contained unpublished material from around 75 interviews which the author, Joel McIver, carried out in order to tell the most in-depth history of the band ever published. "There's a huge gap in the market for a really detailed METALLICA biography," the author said in a previous press release. "'Justice For All' addresses several of the most common METALLICA myths — what the band's real part was in the rise of thrash metal, what really happened on the night of bassist Cliff Burton's death, the truth about their softer, more recent music, and so on. I'm a huge METALLICA fan, but no punches are pulled — it's the book which METALLICA deserve."
