5.0 out of 5 stars
A world wide index of dark music,
By S2K (Scunthorpe, N. Lincs U.K.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music to Die For (Paperback)
Mr Mercer has been involved in the gothic music scene since it formed as an off-shoot of the post-punk scene in the UK and as it became a monsterous entity in its own right - so there probably is no better journalistic authority on the past and present goth scene than he.
In this book Mercer continues the format of his previous release '21st Century Goth' rather than 'Hex Files: The Goth Bible' or 'Gothic Rock: Everything You wanted to know but were to gormless to ask', keeping to the A-Z index format rather than delving into serious biographical detail. In a sense of using it to look up rare interviews it will dissapoint, but for those with an obsessive lust for biographical and discography information on a range of bands that cover major gothic / industrial / metal acts to those who only have a myspace page and demo it is an invaluable resource. On top of that there are also resources for musicians listed as well. On the whole it is a very usefull book for journalists, obsessive fans, and record collectors and one that I hope will be revised and expanded as the years go on to reflect the changing face of the international gothic music scene. (Also see Mercer's previous books and the Rockdetector 'A-Z of' series) ~Sean M. Palfrey

This review is from: Music to Die For (Paperback)
I'm sad to say that this book was a complete disapointment for me because i realy love Mick Mercer's books. This one has almost no photos and the ones included are very low quality. This is more a list/dictionary of the existing and no longer existing goth and alternative bands.
Has no utility for me. I was expecting to see great portfolios with exclusive photos and band history, but this is not the case.
