Ian Christe (born 1970 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland) is an author, disc jockey and the publisher of Bazillion Points Books. He attended Mynderse Academy, The Clarkson School's Bridging Year, and Indiana University.
Christe is the author of the heavy metal history book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, published in English in 2003 and subsequently translated into French, German, Finnish, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Croatian, Italian, Czech, Serbian, and Polish. A weekly radio show known as Bloody Roots was launched in 2004 based on the book, 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 Rolling Stone, Popular Mechanics, Spin, AP, Wired, Revolver, CMJ, Stance, Bananafish, Mother Jones, The Baffler, the Chicago Reader, Warp, Blender, Salon.com, HotWired, Mass Appeal, the Utne Reader, I.D., and Guitar World. Christe has also made film and television appearances on VH1 Classic, MTV2, VH1, and several metal-related documentaries. He has penned liner notes to releases by Megadeth, Death, Mantas, William Hooker, and others.
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 Touch and Go: 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 precursor to Touch and Go Records.https://blog.bazillionpoints.com/

Ryk bestii. Dekady metalu Ian Christe
6,8
Cieszę się, że powstają i są wydawane takie książki. Wyjdźmy poza biografie pojedyńczych zespołów, bo te najczęściej stają się nudne, powstają wedle jednego utartego schematu. W przypadku Janka Chrystka mamy do czynienia z może pełną wad ale jednak kompetentną syntezą. Dlaczego pełną wad? Bo gust Christe jest dziwny. Albo nie. Nie dziwny. Typowo amerykański. A dlaczego kompetentną? Bo potrafi przedstawić w miarę spójny obraz rozwoju metalu. Nie wdaje się może za bardzo w underground (a tam gdzie się w niego w daje to trochę nie rozumie) i nie wie jak z entuzjazmem ugryźć muzykę za którą nie przepada (hair metalowa scena LA) ale generalnie opisuje wszystkie ważne ze społeczno socjologicznego punktu widzenia zdarzenia które kształtowały metal. No i czasami chce być aż nadto entuzjastucznie fanowski. A to kurwa nie jest zin przecie. Ale generalnie, świetna robota chociaż do perfekcji daaaleka droga.
