Mr Pikes: The Story Behind The Ibiza Legend

Product Information

Each has their own bold and iconic style that perfectly compliments the breadth of Pike's various works. Toni Jensen grew up around guns: As a girl, she learned to shoot birds in rural Iowa with her father, a card-carrying member of the NRA. Together, they have redefined the way we perceive Underground Doom Metal these past twenty years and it is our honor to showcase them together along with the incredible written word of Pike. His career began in the 1989 Bay Area punk and metal scene and has remained active to the present day. In the title chapter, Jensen connects the trauma of school shootings with her own experiences of racism and sexual assault on college campuses. This is a retrospective of musical poetry by heavy metal guitarist and frontman, Matt Pike, which spans twenty years beginning in 1998 with the album Art of Self Defense up to the latest release, the 2019 Grammy-Award winning record, Electric Messiah. 5 x 8. His individual guitar stylings are synonymous with Sabbath worship, giving rise to the birth of stoner metal as we know it today. Magazine"Matt Pike might be more regularly referred to as renaissance man if he didn’t also appear to be the physical manifestation of rock ‘n roll hedonism, the embodiment of the rejection of all pretension, the inheritor of Lemmy Kilmister’s swaggering grit, Tony Iommi’s axe wizardry and Hendrix’s legendary appetites.
