Murder In the Front Row, featuring the photography of Harold Oimoen and Brian Lew, collects over 400 amazing color and black-and-white photos documenting the special days of the Bay Area thrash boom, including passionate personal accounts by Bay Area veterans Harald Oimoen, Brian Lew, Ron Quintana of Metal Mania, Gary Holt of Exodus, Alex Skolnick of Testament, and Robb Flynn of Vio-lence (now in Machine Head, of course!). From DIY origins to world domination, the Bay Area thrash metal scene screams to life in these fearless pages. Hardcover, 272 full color pages.

“This will not be a history book, but rather a time machine back to the ‘bonded by blood’ days of the original Bay Area Metal scene. Before they played the Bay Area, Slayer wore makeup onstage—after that first Bay Area show they never wore makeup again. This book will show people why.”—Brian Lew
