Search - List of Books by Ian Christe
Ian Christe (born 1970 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland) is an author, disc jockey and publisher. He attended The Clarkson School's Bridging Year and Indiana University.
Christe is the author of the heavy metal history book The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, published in English in 2003 and translated in eleven languages. A weekly radio show known as Bloody Roots was launched in 2004 based on the book, it on the Hard Attack/Liquid Metal station of Sirius XM Radio. Hosted by Christe, the show focuses on specific eras or styles of heavy metal, with Christe discussing them in-depth. He also hosted a brief daily spot on the Sirius Buzzsaw channel for several years. His first published work was in the IAN fanzine, and he started as a radio host at WEOS in Geneva, New York, at age 14.
As a freelance magazine writer, his articles appeared in Popular Mechanics, Spin, AP, Wired, Revolver, CMJ, Stance, Bananafish, Mother Jones, The Baffler, the Chicago Reader, Warp, Blender, Salon.com, Hotwired.com, Mass Appeal, the Utne Reader, I.D., and Guitar World. Christe has also made small television appearances on VH1 Classic, MTV2, VH1, and several metal-related documentaries.
His unusual metal band, Dark Noerd the Beholder, appears on the soundtrack to the cult film Gummo. Christe also recorded with the bluegrass band Grouse Mountain Skyride, the experimental drone metal band Kuboaa, and performed during 2000 and 2001 as singer with the Jacques Dutronc "couvert" band Les Opportunistes, one of the first bands of the early 2000s Brooklyn rock renaissance.
In 2007, Christe launched Bazillion Points Publishing to promote books by deserving like-minded authors.
On June 30, 2010 Bazillion Points Publishing released The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine '79-'83" by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson. The book chronicles the 22 issues of Touch and Go, the DIY hardcore punk fanzine. The zine was the pre-cursor to Touch and Go Records.
