I Am Morbid tells the astounding story of David Vincent, former bassist and singer with Morbid Angel, and now outlaw-country performer and leader of the I Am Morbid supergroup. Written with the bestselling author Joel McIver, it s an autobiography that transcends the heavy metal category by its very nature. Much more than a mere memoir, I Am Morbid is an instruction manual for life at the sharp end; a gathering of wisdom distilled into ten acute lessons for anyone interested in furthering their fortunes in life. Morbid Angel redefined the term pioneers. A band of heavy-metal-loving kids from all over America who broke through a host of music industry prejudices and went on to scale huge commercial heights, they introduced a whole new form of extreme music to the world. Formed in 1984, and breaking into the limelight in 1989 with their devastating first album, Altars Of Madness, the Florida death-metal legends became the first band of their genre to sign to a major label, from which point they came to dominate the worldwide metal scene for two decades and beyond. David left Morbid Angel in 1996, and again, following a reunion, in 2015. For the first time, I Am Morbid explores the reasons behind his departure, and the transformation of his life, career, and music in the years since. This is a classic but never predictable tale of a man who has fought convention every step of the way . . . and won.

Scream for Me Africa! examines the hard rock and metal scenes in five African countries: Botswana, Togo, South Africa, Kenya and Ghana. Banchs spent significant time in each country interviewing musicians, producers and fans to create vivid pictures of each of these rarely discussed scenes. These scenes are 'a disruption of the norm, a disruption of what we have come to expect from Africa and rock and metal music'. He has chosen to shed light on these particular scenes now because of their difference and because they are reflections of their countries.\n\n\n\nThis exciting new book considers how heavy metal's subculture is viewed in Africa, and how musicians in the continent have stepped forward to make this genre their own. It looks at the continent's blossoming scenes through various themes including hybridity, othering and how scenes have collided with their difficult political systems.\n\n\n\nScream For Me, Africa! Is the first book of its kind and an engaging look at the various metal scenes across the African continent, and how they are constructing an identity as metal fans in their modern nation states under the shadow of post-colonialism. Written in a clear, approachable manner it is accessible to academic and non-academic readers.\n\n\n\nEdward Banchs is a freelance writer and independent scholar – and a metal fan – based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA whose writing has appeared in The Guardian, Afropop, Metal Hammer, Metal Music Studies and The Pittsburgh City Paper. He is also author of Heavy Metal Africa (2016).\n\n\n\nThis new book fills a gap in the market for an academic text on metal in Africa, expanding published scholarship on metal in the global south. It book has potential use as a resource on courses in several disciplines including sociology, cultural studies, musicology, ethnomusicology, sociology and Africa studies.  It will also be of interest to the more general readers with an interest in the musical genre.\n\n\n\nWill appeal to anyone who is interested in metal, African culture, anthropology and sociology and history.  Particularly musicologists and ethnomusicologists and those with an interest in metal in the global south.

The Hellbangers are the \"enfants terribles\" of a sleepy, diamonds rich country. Photographer Pep Bonet (1974, Mallorca) has been following Overthrust, a heavy metal band from Botswana, Africa, and shows us a growing, exciting and thoroughly organic heavy metal community. Ten years ago, one group existed. Today there are more than ten - and their fans are growing every year.\n\n\n\nThe inhabitants of Botswana portrayed in this book are tattooed, loudly and proudly dress in leather, and play heavy death metal music. Imagine the DIY ingenuity of their 'costume creation' involving harvested animal skulls and other natural elements. With names like Demon and Gunsmoke, it would be easy though to think they are thugs, but \"We try to be examples. Rock is a wild thing, but also something for the heart\", says Gunsmoke, the heavy metal head. Here too, the lyrics of the songs are very critical towards societies, just like their western peers. Metal in Botswana is rebellious movement against authorities. \n\n\n\nThis is the story of what looks at first to be an unlikely union, yet one which powerfully illustrates how music, how heavy metal music, has become a positively unifying force in an unlikely part of the world. \n\n\n\nWith text contributions written by Pep Bonet and Steffan Chirazi, and a foreword by Rob Halford from Judas Priest.

Rob Halford è il solo e unico Metal God, di nome e di fatto. Nato e cresciuto nella Black Country, l’area tra Birmingham e Wolverhampton costellata di miniere di carbone, fabbriche e ciminiere, ha forgiato se stesso e la propria musica nel duro cuore dell’Inghilterra siderurgica. Confesso, la sua autobiografia, è il racconto di un viaggio iniziato nelle case popolari di Walsall e giunto sino alla fama planetaria come rockstar simbolo dell’heavy metal mondiale. Un viaggio costellato di alcolismo, dipendenze, problemi con la giustizia, avventure clandestine finite piuttosto male e una notevole dose di problemi personali, ma culminato con la decisione di disintossicarsi, il proprio coming out come uomo gay e, infine, l’amore. Rob Halford narra la sua incredibile vita, e i cinquant’anni che ha passato nell’industria musicale, con lo spirito che lo contraddistingue da sempre, farcito di notevoli dosi dello humor sarcastico e autoironico così tipico della zona da cui proviene. Ma più di ogni altra cosa, lo fa celebrando il fuoco e la potenza dell’heavy metal, di cui è rimasto sempre un’icona inarrivabile.
