Martin Popoff is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on April 28, 1963 in Canada, Canada.
Born in Castlegar, British Columbia, Popoff’s interest in heavy metal began as a youth in Trail, British Columbia, in the early 1970s, when bands such as Led Zeppelin and Iron Butterfly were in the collections of the older brothers and cousins of Popoff and his friends. Black Sabbath played even heavier music, and became the group his circle of friends thought of as “our band, not the domain of our elders”. Other heavy rock albums of the era, such as Nazareth’s Razamanaz and Kiss’ Hotter Than Hell, further shaped his emerging musical tastes. Angel City and April Wine were among Popoff’s favourite bands as a teenager.
Popoff received a B.A in English from the University of Victoria in 1984 and an MBA in marketing at McMaster University in 1987, working for Xerox before co-owning a print brokering company. For a while in the 1980s he also played drums in a bar band called Torque. In 1993 he released his first book, the independently published Riff Kills Man!: 25 Years Of Recorded Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, a collection of 1,942 critical reviews of heavy metal records. Shortly after its publication he co-founded Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, which released its first issue in 1994. He soon returned to his reviews book, releasing a revised and expanded version in 1997 titled The Collector’s Guide To Heavy Metal, which almost doubled the original book’s number of reviews to 3,700. In the book he identifies three major stages in the early development of heavy metal. The first stage, “invention”, took place in 1970 with the release of Deep Purple in Rock coinciding with debut albums from Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. Stage two, “re-invention”, occurred in 1976 with Judas Priest’s Sad Wings of Destiny. The third stage, “re-intensification”, happened in 1984 with the release of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning.
