The book's voice is provided via author commentary and compelling artist interviews that paint colorful snapshots of how dynamic and powerful the genre of heavy music is. This book celebrates the dedication, commitment and spirit of the local musician, the fans, and music scenes in each of the aforementioned five Midwestern cities.
