Abstract: << Heavy Metal Flyers on the Wall returns with Volume Two, diving deeper into the raw, rebellious world of heavy metal’s pre-digital visual culture. Spanning the gritty years from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, this second instalment continues the visual archive of concert flyers, zine ads, DIY posters, and rare ephemera that once screamed from city walls and telephone poles.
Like its predecessor, Volume Two captures the visceral energy of an era where Xerox machines and black ink were the weapons of choice. With hundreds of new pieces collected and preserved, this volume brings to light both legendary names and long-forgotten cult acts—each flyer a snapshot of a night, a sound, a scene.
Presented by Heavy Music Artwork, an authority in heavy metal visual culture, this volume continues the commentary, analysis, and historical insight that made Volume One essential. Every piece is reproduced under fair use for research and preservation, offering fans, designers, and collectors a deeper look into the chaotic, creative force that shaped heavy metal’s underground identity. >>
