Books by Martin Popoff

Charts headbanging through the late `70s, arriving at the first years of this flash phenomenon - 1979 & 1980. Popoff along with dozens of headbanging buddies tell the tale of the genre's birth & mischievous, defiant adolescence - heavy metal would forever be transformed. Wheels of Steel celebrates plainly & yet powerfully, all the reasons why.

Megadeth's career from the start to its decline as Dave Mustaine's destructiveness threatened to kill the band: A story untold... until now. With over sixty books to his name, Popoff applies his tried and tested methodology to a head-crunching canon of work - as strong with the recent albums as it is with the classics you all know and love.

A celebration of the classic-era Motorhead line-up of Lemmy Kilmister, 'Fast' Eddie Clarke and Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor. Examines their rise to prominence during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the late 1970s, and brings the story up to date with the deaths of Phil and Lemmy in 2015.
