In 1986, the idea that death metal and grindcore would ever impact popular culture was unimaginable. Initially circulated through a scattered tape-trading network of underground thrill-seekers, bands rose from every corner of the globe and death metal and grindcore spread faster than a pandemic plague of undead flesh-eaters. By 1994, the genre's most prominent labels had sold millions of albums. Choosing Death examines the rise, fall and resurrection through the eyes and ringing ears of the artists and entrepreneurs behind the movement.

"Albert Mudrian, our disciple of all that is heavy and extreme,
definitively documents this period of blissful cacophony for all to
behold. Play fast or die!" -- Shane Embury "Napalm Death"
"Choosing Death is like a time-travel machine, so damn honest and
real. It is a rare heartfelt document of a special underground
musical movement, a trip back to the formative years of my life.
Dive in and enjoy the proper story of this passionate international
scene." -- Tomas Lindberg "At the Gates"
"This is the Bible right here." -- Scott Hull "Pig Destroyer"
