From DIY origins to world domination, MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW is a vivid large-format 272-page view inside “the metal scene that banged those heads that did not bang,” and includes over 400 fearless color and black-and-white photos of Metallica, Exodus, Megadeth, Slayer, Possessed, Death Angel, Legacy/Testament, Forbidden, Vio-lence, and many others. Bay Area veterans Harald Oimoen, Brian Lew, Ron Quintana (Metal Mania), Gary Holt (Exodus), Alex Skolnick (Legacy/Testament), and Robb Flynn (Vio-lence/Machine Head) all contribute passionate personal written accounts. The book will be available December 2011 wherever books are sold. For more information and to preorder now and receive a limited two-sided poster dustjacket, visit this location:
