STEPHEN KING Still Listens To METALLICA, Doesn't Care For BLACK SABBATH

April 13, 2011

Legendary horror author Stephen King still enjoys listening to bands like METALLICA while working on stories and novels, according to a new interview with The Atlantic. Asked what he prefers putting on while working, King said, "METALLICA, ANTHRAX, I still listen to those guys . . . There's a band called the LIVING THINGS that I like a lot. Very loud group. I never cared for Ozzy very much . . . [BLACK SABBATH] don't really work for me."

King has a new short story in the latest issue of The Atlantic, called "Herman Wouk Is Still Alive".

King famously tapped AC/DC to assemble "Who Made Who", the 1986 soundtrack album to the film version of his novel "Maximum Overdrive".
