Ruthless Metal

As you might know, I've written a 30 part series of The History of Thrash Metal and I'm wondering if there's any interest from you to watch me turn those into videos? Since it's over 200 pages long I don't have the time or the will to record all that audio because it would take me days. So the question is should I create the History of Thrash Metal video series into a reality with the help of a text-to-speech narrator. (AI) Or should I ditch that idea and make something else of my time instead?

I know people don't like text-to-speech narration but at the same time I cant work full-time on things that don't generate an income. So I'll let you decide. Do you want me to create this video series with text-to-speech narration or should I move on to other things?

The History of Thrash Metal (eBook)

From the basement gigs of 1983 to the festival stages of 2026, The History of Thrash Metal is a full-throttle chronicle of one of the most aggressive, uncompromising genres in music history. Through four decades of speed, aggression, and mayhemic destruction.

I dive deep into the legacy of the big four. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. I track the genre’s evolution through the waves, the underground insurgents, and the 'New Wave of Thrash Metal' that has kept the fire burning for decades now. With sharp editorial insight and unapologetic fan passion, this book explores the world of thrash metal.

Whether you’re a die-hard thrasher or a curious metalhead, this book delivers the chaos, the context, and the cultural impact of a genre that refuses to die. Packed with band histories and scene analysis. The History of Thrash Metal is essential reading for anyone who's into thrash metal.
