BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

Former 'zine editors Alan Moses (Buttface 'zine) and Brian Pattison (Chainsaw Abortions 'zine) are nearing completion on a book unlike any other.

Instead of the standard "history of" book, Glorious Times: A Pictorial Of The Death Metal Scene 1984 - 1991 will showcase rare (many never before seen) pictures from the death metal scene (1984-1991) and instead of narration by an outside author, the stories contained in the book will come from the bands and 'zine editors of the period.

Who could be better at telling the inside stories of what really happened than those that were there and lived it.

The photos will come largely from the personal collections of Alan and Brian with other photos coming from the personal collections of such people as Kam Lee, Henry Veggian, Laurent Ramadier, and other stalwarts of the era. These pictures won't be the standard lineup shots you've seen in magazines and fanzines over and over, instead these will be rare live pictures and candid images of bands in studio, hanging out and rehearsing, the types of images few people outside of the bands themselves have ever seen.

The stories will come largely from the bands themselves.

"We've got Kam Lee (DEATH, MASSACRE) telling about the forming of Death and their first gig, Alex Webster (CANNIBAL CORPSE) telling about the Buffalo scene that spawned Cannibal Corpse, King Fowley (DECEASED) telling of a road trip from Hell, all 3 original members of NUCLEAR DEATH telling personal tales, Chris Reifert (Death, AUTOPSY) recanting a tale on the recording of the legendary Scream Bloody Gore album, Vincent Crowley (ACHERON) orating a tale involving fellow band IMMOLATION... and many more personal stories never before told to or read by the fans.

Together these pictures and stories tell of an era gone by, the Glorious Times of the early death metal scene. You can go and pick up a history of book and read an authors interpretation of research he might have done, or you can pick this up and read what happened from the bands themselves, without filters, without someone else’s interpretation and all the while you can see images that have never been seen before.
