Book Reviews of Death Metal
Book Review: ...Missing Classic
Summary: 2 Stars
First I want to apologise for submitting review before reading the book but I just can not help to warn all Death Metal fans who might consider to buy this book that it does not even mention one of the classics of the genre POSSESSED.
I know it because I bought that book and joyfully skimmed through the very moment it arrived on my table.On the back cover it says 'This book is the greatest book on the subject of Death Metal ever'...I'm sorry but no serious book on Death Metal should ever miss founding fathers of the genre.To me it is a serious blunder.I'm surprised that the author does not know the classic album by Possessed Seven Churches and one of its songs Death Metal after which the whole genre was arguably named....
Summary of Death Metal
Reviled and revered in equal measure since its inception over a decade ago the phenomenon known as Death Metal has pushed Hard Rock music to the very edge of acceptability, and way beyond. Death metal and its bastard offspring Grindcore, has become the pariah of the music world. From the founding fathers Death, Napalm Death, Carcass, Incantation, Impetigo, and Morbid Angel, to the rise of Swedish Death Metal legends In Flames, Carnage and At The Gates, the Black Death Metal of Marduk, the Christian Death Metal of Mortification and the political Noisecore of Agathocles. Every major force in the genre is included - Aborted, Malevolent Creation, Deicide, Dismember, Dissection, Cannibal Corpse, Six Feet Under, Vader, Krisiun, et al. All genres old and new are analysed in depth with full histories and detailed discographies of well over 3,000 bands. Also included are many rare photographs. No area of the globe has provided a safe haven and this book documents the burgeoning uprise of Death Metal bands in the Far East, Eastern Europe and South America. Despite its unceasing growth and increasing legions of fans quite remarkably the phenomenon of Extreme Metal has never been fully documented until now. This book, newly updated and amended, is a must for all serious extreme metal fans.Reference Books
