Author of Choosing Death: The Unlikely Story of Death Metal and Grindcore; founder and editor-in-chief of Decibel magazine; writes about death metal and grindcore.

The single DeBaser review treats Choosing Death as an enjoyable, anecdote-rich history of death metal and grindcore but criticizes omissions and a perceived label-centric focus. It praises core coverage of major bands while noting lack of breadth on smaller acts and social context. Overall a readable but imperfect survey.

For:Fans of death metal and grindcore, music historians, and readers of music journalism
