The Best Book about Black Sabbath I've Ever Read!

Jack Holloway wrote one of the most original and intriguing books ever about Black Sabbath, "Hands of Doom: The Apocalyptic Vision of Black Sabbath."
The fact that it comes from a Christian perspective adds to the intrigue. The thing is, Jack's not preachy or trying to convert anyone. In fact, I think most Heavy Metal and Doom Metal fans will be surprised and inspired at his view of not only Black Sabbath, but extreme music as a whole, including Primitive Man and Discharge.

Welcome to Clean and Sober Stoner!
We cover the Heavy Metal Underground, known as Stoner/Doom. Our focus is on new Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, Traditional Metal, and Classic Rock-influenced bands in the Heavy Underground.
Clean and Sober Stoner’s aim is to be the #1 resource for new Heavy Metal bands, with music reviews, interviews, and expert tips from Heavy Rock labels, PR firms, and fellow bands who all share their Tales from the Heavy Underground.
Clean and Sober Stoner is also the #1 channel on KZbin that focuses on young and emerging Heavy Metal, Stoner/Doom and Hard Rock bands, giving fans a chance to discover their new favorite band from the Heavy Underground. We have exclusive interviews, reviews and even Live Reaction! Videos when we listen to song and review it, Live and WITH THE BAND!!!
We think that Stoner/Doom is nothing more than the best Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Progressive Rock, and Heavy Blues available today in what we call the Heavy Underground. What sets Stoner/Doom apart is the lack of commercial hype, auto-tune, generic riffs, and bland production that sounds like a bunch of Vanilla Sausage (Circle of Tone). But make no mistake: Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, and even Prog didn’t die- they just went Underground!

Oh God may body is very, very ready for this video. After reading Mick Wall's absolutely atrocious and laughably biased Black Sabbath biography a few months ago, I am hungry for the Black Sabbath story from a writer I respect. Edit* I came back to edit that part about Mick Wall out, but nah. Cool shoutout to Martin Popov though. His Rush series is phenomenal. Edit 2**: also did not realize Jack was a theologian. I went to school to be a pastor myself, so now I NEED to talk to this man lol. Jesus, Stoner Doom, and family. That's what matters haha EDIT 3: Just keeping the fuckin comment open at this point. This black metal in Church thing is putting me on a soapbox, Scott. Haha this is my favorite episode in a long time man. Wow. I would love to meet this guy. He's so interesting. The whole idea I have for my own stoner doom project is completely devoted to Christ, so im so encouraged that there are others like me out there. You've really made my night tonight man. I could talk to this guy for hours. My God what an interesting man. Why can't I find a homie in Indy like this lol EDIT 4: I played Goatsnake at my wedding back in February. It went over like a hot turd in a bathtub but I was laughing so hard at everyone's unease I made myself sick. EDIT 5: Of course he pulls out Pagan Altar at the end. My sides hath been split
