Jeff Wagner 'Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Metal’ ULTRA RARE VGC

Very difficult to find anywhere - only one other (US based) copy listed on eBay!\nRevered former Metal Maniacs editor Jeff Wagner analyses the heady side of metal in this exhaustive narrative history of a relentlessly ambitious musical subculture. Beginning with the hugely influential mid-1970s efforts of progressive rock acts Rush and King Crimson, Wagner unfurls a vast colourful tapestry of sounds and styles, from the 'Big 3' of Queensryche, Fates Warning and Dream Theater to the extreme prog pioneers Voivod, Watchtower, Celtic Frost and others.\n450 pages, trade paperback
