The Necromancer of Rock: The Origins of Death SS (1977-1982)
By Steve Sylvester
with Gianni Della Cioppa
Paperback with French flaps, 224 pages loaded with images from every step of the band's early history, 16 of those in full colour.
The English edition of the insane story of the legendary Death SS.
In addition to Steve’s story and version of the history of the band, the book includes interviews with all living members from the time of the “First Seal” as it has been termed: Danny Hughes, Thomas Chaste and Thomas “Hand” Chaste, Claud Galley, and even words from the enigmatic Paul Chain appear in the book, along with remembrances of the contributions from Aldo Polverari and Sanctis Ghoram.
Superb book, well put together and illustrated to tell the story from influences through to the music and stage presentation.
Nice forward by Mortiis to set the tone.
As with any good biography we get the good with the bad, the tales are told as they were.
By far one of the best music books I have read in a long time.
Not much of a review I hear you say, well, here is the thing if you are a fan you MUST own this book and I have no intention of giving anything away regards to contents, Just read it!!
