IN APRIL, Decibel Books will proudly publish the U.S.
version of Rotting Ways To Misery: The History of Finnish Death Metal. Co-authored by Markus Makkonen (Sadistik Forest, Nerve Saw, Hooded Menace) and Kim Strömsholm (Festerday, ...And Oceans, Havoc Unit), this 362-page hardcover dives deep into the unique and sometimes overlooked late ’80s and early ’90s Finnish death metal scene. While you’ll get the full histories of underground heroes like Funebre, Purtenance and Mordicus in the book, for this exclusive excerpt, Makkonen and Strömsholm examine the earliest days of the scene’s biggest band, Amorphis. — A L B E R T MU D R I A N 38 : M A PAY R I 2L022012:1 D: EDCEI C BIEBLE L
