Albert Mudrian: Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal & Grindcore

"Choosing Death is widely recognized as the definitive history of extreme music subgenres. For this revised and expanded edition, author Albert Mudrian (editor-in-chief of Decibel magazine) reveals there is life after death metal; the book now flaunts a whopping 100 additional pages in three new chapters; 50 additional interviews; a grisly 16-page color insert; and a new cover painting by legendary death metal artist Dan Seagrave (known for his classic Entombed and Morbid Angel album covers).

This head-rushing history also features forewords by famed BBC DJ John Peel and Repulsion cofounder Scott Carlson."
