New Version Of "Choosing Death" With 100 Extra Pages Seeing Release

Originally released on Feral House in 2004, "Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal and Grindcore" will now see an expanded and revised edition coming from author Albert Mudrian (editor-in-chief of Decibel Magazine), sporting an extra 100 pages.

This fully redesigned hardcover version is the inaugural release of brand-new imprint Decibel Books, and will be limited to 3,000 hand-numbered copies. It boasts three new chapters (with new material interspersed among the original 10 chapters), over 50 new interviews (for a total of 200) and a new cover painting by legendary death metal artist Dan Seagrave, recalling elements of his classic Entombed and Morbid Angel album covers.

Why revisit the book in 2015? Mudrian explains: “The decade since Choosing Death’s release treated death and grind fans to unlikely reunions, vital comeback records and previously unimaginable commercial breakthroughs. I couldn’t resist the urge to document one of the most exciting periods in the genres’ history, while also revealing more tales of its first 20 years of rule.”
