I was looking for the french version (for a friend) on Amazon, but could not find it, is it the same title or should I look for “Suede Death Metal”?

Absolutely amazing history from an amazing musician. Ekeroth’s historical analysis is as intricate as his book’s details.Sometimes the authors opinions can be a let down. His preference for harder sounds than the melodic and sometimes progressive Gothenburg bands is evident. Ekeroth shows his personal dislike for such bands in the book’s appendix. Such bands include Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, and the non-Gothenburg sounds of the progressive and influential Opeth.Bands that get exception nods are Nihilist, Entombed, At the Gates, Dissection, Dismember and other Swedish great!Although Ekeroth gives his opinions on such bands he also warns readers ahead of time that his writing is based somewhat on opinion. His acknowledgment of this further strengthens the text and makes in extremely interesting to fans of the genre. This book is quality and Ekeroth’s reflections of such bands adds to the powerful and grand scope and power of his masterpiece.Truly amazing. 5/5!!!!

I finished reading this book a few days ago. I acknowledge that I am not a big fan of the genre, but “Swedish death metal” has done that for weeks, just listen to anything other than death metal, especially the one made in the early days … I wrote a review on my blog. It’s in Spanish but translated s epuede. If anyone is interested, I leave the address here:http://metal80.com/?p=2071

Just ordered my copy and I can’t wait to recieve. Been following the Swedish Death Metal scene since around ’91 and I’m still a diehard follower of the classic bands…

I bought a copy of this book just over a week ago, and it did not leave my side until I finished it! It is absolutely fascinating to explore the beginnings of one of my favorite types of music, and it has left me with a ton of bands that you just need to check out!Daniel Ekeroth’s writing style is a major plus, with many humorous anecdotes, a strong sense of personality, and a genuine passion for the music. Highly recommended!

This one simply is a MUST HAVE book. Not just for metalheads, which is a given; but for anybody who has a passing interest in how sub-cultures develop and flourish over time and borders. A worthy successor to ‘SDM’ would be a look at American Death Metal scene over the years. Suffice to say that the NY and Florida bands (amongst others) have some fantastic stories to tell..
