History of Heavy Metal – Mariano Muniesa (with Mariskal Romero)

An essential work to understand the soul of metal. Why has Heavy Metal, with more than half a century of history, been so little covered in literature, especially in Spain? This question serves as the starting point for Mariano Muniesa, one of the most influential music journalists in the country, to travel to the origins, evolution, and present of metal, with the collaboration of Mariskal Romero, a living legend of rock radio. The two hardly need any introduction because they have always been on the scene for as long as we can remember. So, at the very least, we should listen carefully to what their pages tell us.

The Suaves. Rock 'n' Roll is my home.

There's no argument here: if you're a fan of Los Suaves, you have to own this book. I am, and I own it, and it's one of the crown jewels on my bookshelf. I say this because of the enormous research, the story, the structure, the photographs, and so on. It's a must-have. No fads, no compromises: Los Suaves have remained true only to their people and to themselves. This work captures the soul of a band that knew how to transform melancholy into electric poetry, pain into eternal songs, and sincerity into an immortal legacy. With prologues and testimonials from Yosi, Kutxi Romero, and Rulo, this book is a gentle yet resounding cry: rock and roll in Spain also has its own name.
