Sommario/riassunto

Extreme metal - one step beyond heavy metal - can appear bizarre or terrifying to the uninitiated. Extreme metal musicians have developed an often impenetrable sound that teeters on the edge of screaming, incomprehensible noise. This book explores the global extreme metal scene.
