Book: Seven Metal Inches - Three Decades of Picture 7"s in Extreme Metal

"Seven Metal Inches" is the appropriate title of the book by Andreas Hertkorn which covers the past three decades of 7" picture disc releases in extreme metal: beside being a printed version of the vast encyclopedia that exists online at the site www.sevenmetalinches.com and featuring plenty of images of vinyls, flyers, artworks and more, it also includes 70 exclusive interviews with bands, labels and artists who share their passion for vinyl and discuss their picture disc releases.

Watain are among the bands interviewed in the book (to name but a few: Ancient Rites, Asphyx, Beastcraft, Brutal Truth, Denial of God, Dismember, Drowning the Light, Enthroned, In Aeternum, Incantation, Manticore, Mayhem, Mortifilia, Napalm Death, Nekrofilth, Nocturnal Graves, Nunslaughter, Sabbat, Sarkom, Sombre Présage, Sorhin, Vulcano and many, many more).
"As a picture disc maniac himself, front man Erik Danielsson wasted no time and mailed back his extensive answers after a couple of hours" explains the author of the book introducing the Watain interview.
