Reign In Blood: The Book. It's true. And I need your help.

The good folks at Continuum Books have commissioned a book about Slayer's "Reign in Blood" -- for my money, the best metal album, by the best metal band. (But I'm a thrash guy, so take it for what it's worth; Maiden rules, too.) And I'm going to write it.

I'm not the most hardcore guy in the world, but I'll tell you this: I'm not gonna f*k it up.

Where am I coming from? Here's something I wrote about the band recently:

So here's how you can help me not f*k up Operation Overlord (that's the working title -- sweet, huh?): Tell me what you'd like to read in the book.

What do YOU want to know about the album, what it means, how it came to be, and why it still totally kills 20 years later?

Send 'em to me at reigninblood333 [ a t ) yahoo.com . You can post here, but I'll be taking the questions down so everyone will be nice & surprised when the book arrives... which will be soon. And that way, in a few months, once you drop $10 on the thing, you won't put it down and think, "Man, I wish he would have asked this, that, and the other thing." I have some pretty cool plans for the project, and YOUR questions will make it better.

Thank you. Stay tuned. As the guys in Ringworm say, it's gonna be a rager.
