Metal Rules The Globe is out! And there’s a chapter by me on Israeli metal…

After a publishing process that took over half a decade, Metal Rules the Globe: Heavy Metal Music Around the World is finally out. It’s well worth waiting for. The collection includes chapter on metal in such places as China, Indonesia,  Malta, Nepal and Easter Island. I contributed a chapter on metal in Israel. It does repeat a few things I have said elsewhere but also contains some new material.
