Critics Review
Heavy opens an ornate portal into a murky subculture, illuminating the marginalia as well as the big beasts– Sunday Times
Fascinating … powerful – Elif Shafak * The Spectator *A weighty discussion of metal, for both passionate fans and neophytes … Yet what elevates Heavy from being a simple love letter to metal is the way in which Franklin situates heaviness within the “iron-rich bloodline running through the bedrock of culture” … a book that pulls off the trick of offering something to both passionate fans and neophytes – Keith Kahn-Harris * Guardian *Heavy opens an ornate portal into a murky subculture, illuminating the marginalia as well as the big beasts – Victoria Segal * Sunday Times *A wildly entertaining journey into the heart of musical darkness – Liam Cagney * Irish Times *
