This time next year, this death metal masterpiece turns 40 😱 Chuck Schuldiner changed extreme metal forever. The debate still rages on too... is this the very first death metal album? Weigh in!

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Goat......

After eight years and four days, the first draft is complete! Those 502 pages appear on the right. On the left are thousands of pages of original interviews and other source materials that were created during that time specifically for this project -- so, that pile does not include the many archival interviews from e.g. hundreds 80s and 90s metal mags that we also referenced, nor does it reflect the vast library of photos and other images now being indexed. Editing the text has commenced meanwhile, and then it all moves to layout.

The pencil is censoring the full title, which was decided long ago but cannot yet be revealed. And for the sake of efficiency, the identity of the publisher(s) may also be held in secret until preorders open.

Cheers to my partner in this quest Kola Krauze and to everyone who has been waiting patiently for our return!

To be continued......
