Choosing Death Albert Mudrian
Feral House 193259504X / 9781932595048 Paperback New
In 1986 it was unimaginable that death metal and grindcore would ever impact popular culture. Yet this shockingly fast and barbaric amalgam of hardcore punk and heavy metal would define the musical threshold of extremity for years to come. Initially circulated through an underground tape-trading network by scraggly angry young boys death metal and grindcore spread faster than a plague of undead zombies as bands rose from every corner of the globe. By 1992 the genre's first legitimate label Earache Records had sold well over a million death metal and grindcore albums in the United States alone. Choosing Death featuring an introduction by John Peel conquers the lofty task of telling the two-decade-long history of this underground art form through the eyes and ringing ears of the artists producers and label owners - past and present - who propelled the movements. The book covers the scene in every dark detail from its late '70s beginnings in the UK's anarcho-punk scene to the early 80s American version that featured unplayable - and to some unlistenable - riffs to legendary groups like Napalm Death and Godflesh to the genre's alleged death and resurrection in the late 1990s.
