The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time is a book by Martin Popoff who is the Editor in Chief and Writer of the Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles Magazine as well as the Senior Editor of bravewords.com.
Popoff put together this book by requesting thousands of metal fans, musicians, and journalists to send in their favourite heavy metal Albums. All the votes were tallied and entered into a database from which the final rankings were derived.
Additionally, some of the top metal performers were polled and their Top 10 album lists are also displayed in the book. It also contains hundreds of quotes from hundreds of well-known artists (for about 470 entries) as well as several underground who have made a mark on the metal scene.
