Choosing Death is widely recognised 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 colour 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 co-founder Scott Carlson.

Albert Mudrian was born in 1975 in Wilkes-Barre in the State of Pennsylvania . His interest in heavy metal began during his school years with groups such as Iron Maiden and Metallica. Later he turned more extreme forms of metal and bands like Sepultura , Obituary and Napalm Death to. As an author he has worked since July 1996 since 1997 as a staff editor at Red Flag Media and since October 2004 he has been editor of the music magazine Decibel . After an interview with Digby Pearson, owner of Earache Records , in May 2000 Mudrian began researching his book Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal & Grindcore, which appeared in 2004.
