Metal Cats Softcover Book

Nobody warned the cats. One day they're just living in a house, the next they're being held by someone in Mayhem face paint.

Metal Cats by Alexandra Crockett is one of those books that sounds like a joke and turns out to be completely sincere and somehow better for it. Portraits of real metal musicians, the brutal and the kvlt and the tattooed, with their actual cats. Siamese next to skull collections. Persians in front of Baphomet posters. Tabbies being cradled by people who probably own every Obituary pressing on vinyl. It captures something true about the metal community that outsiders miss entirely, the tenderness underneath all the darkness. A perfect coffee table book for the alternative household, and genuinely one of the funniest and most wholesome things to come out of the metal world in years.
