From the Author
591,000 words on 3,700 metal records from the past 27 years.
The self-published version of Riff Kills Man!, featuring 1,942 reviews, begat and began life in 1990, seeing light in '93. This adds about 1,750 new reviews for a total of 3,700 (not 3,300, as is mentioned elsewhere!). About 1,000 of those reviews visit records already available in '93, that I missed. The rest are all records from the last four years. Seven years in the making, I'm just glad it's finished! I practically went blind writing and editing the thing. Let's play spot the typo! Biggest improvements include more old stuff, more death/doom/thrash, more AOR, alternative and punk, more solo projects, soundtracks and tributes, and just much wiser (ha!) writing. Plus most of the old reviews have been rewritten and made (ha!) more insightful. Email me if you have any questions or wish to vent your spleen!
