"Rebellion is a part of youth. Sometimes it's dangerous. Instead of a sword, I hold a guitar in my hands. I'm in the same, rigid world but instead of Molotov cocktails, I've got a computer. It's a much more powerful weapon." Confessions Of A Heretic is the forthright and erudite memoir of the front man and driving force behind the Polish heavy-metal group Behemoth, currently at the top of their game following the release of their 2014 US Top 40 album The Satanist. Presented as a series of interrogations by friends and associates, the book reveals a complex man of great contrast--a health-conscious, highly personable intellectual known for his extreme views and even more extreme music--lifting the lid on everything from his clashes with the Polish Catholic church to appearing as a judge on the Polish edition of The Voice to his recent battle with leukemia.

“John McAfee is an American original—bold, brilliant, unpredictable. Characters like him came from a different era—not the woke, soy boy, non-confrontational culture of modern high tech. You meet McAfee head on in No Domain—in his raw energy and spit-in-your-eye cussedness. Buy this book, read this book, and understand—could anything, even John McAfee, kill John McAfee?” —Stephen K. Bannon, White House Chief Strategist, Host: War Room Delete everything you think you know about tech pioneer John McAfee, whose antivirus software operates on millions of computers around the world. Uninstall any impressions you have of the man depicted in the news, the man in disguise and on the run in Central America, even the man who reinvented himself as the Libertarian Party’s candidate in the 2016 presidential election. Move these images to your brain’s trash file. The real John McAfee is far more complex. Drawn from hours of conversations between Mark Eglinton and John McAfee in 2019—while he was hiding in an undisclosed location—No Domain: The John McAfee Tapes provides startling insight into the extraordinary life of one of America’s genuine renegades. McAfee shares his life story like it’s his last will and testament, providing revelatory details on the abusive father who shot himself when John was a young boy; the life-changing LSD overdose in St Louis, during which he was nearly convinced by voices in his head to try to kill his first wife and daughter; the unexpected government clearance that led to him working on CIA dark programs; the combined affinity for mathematics and hallucinogens that informed the hedonistic nature of his software company in Silicon Valley; the attempt to find a quiet life in Belize only to become a pariah in the eyes of the local militia, from whom he’d later flee, having been framed for the murder of his neighbor; and the subsequent years on the run in the US, evading a cast of pursuers, including the Sinaloa Cartel, while burying bags of money and valuables in marked locations around the Southwest, before fleeing the country on his yacht. John McAfee has lived a life that defies description. This larger-than-life biography documents it all.

The John McAfee Tapes

No Domain

Mark Eglinton nous raconte un destin hors norme. Celui d’un garçon boutonneux que la vie menaçait d’écraser : pauvreté, intégrisme religieux, divorce puis cancers de ses parents et fin tragique de son ami bassiste Cliff Burton… sans oublier l’alcoolisme… Hetfield s’en est sorti grâce à Metallica et ses cent millions d’albums vendus (cinquième place dans l’histoire des ventes). Pour la première fois, des personnalités majeures de l’histoire du groupe ont accepté de parler. Elles nous donnent leur version, de ses débuts jusqu’à son intronisation émouvante au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame en 2009. « Je voudrais remercier infiniment ma plus grande puissance {…} La musique est ma thérapie et j’ai besoin d’en faire. J’aimerais remercier ma femme Francesca pour m’avoir sauvé la vie… bien des fois. Mes enfants, vous trois qui êtes là. Merci pour m’avoir appris à aimer {… } Voilà une preuve vivante qu’il est possible de réaliser son rêve. »

For The Sake Of Heaviness is an inside look at how Brian Slagel built Metal Blade Records from a one-man operation in his mom's non-air-conditioned garage to the preeminent international home of heavy music that it is today. As a metal-obsessed Southern California kid, he cobbled together what he assumed would be a one-off compilation of fledgling bands from the LA scene. Released in 1982, the Metal Massacre LP included the debut recordings of Ratt, Metallica, and others. In the wake of the album's unexpected success Slagel stumbled into creating a proper record label and issued the first releases by Bitch, Armored Saint, and Slayer the following year.In this book, Brian shares his insights into signing and working with Amon Amarth, As I Lay Dying, Behemoth, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Cirith Ungol, Corrosion of Conformity, Fates Warning, Gwar, King Diamond and Mercyful Fate, Lizzy Borden, Manowar, Sacred Reich, Six Feet Under, Trouble, Unearth, Whitechapel, and others.Featuring insights and extended guest interviews featuring friends, colleagues, Metal Blade staffers, and a long list of artists—including Metallica's James Hetfield, Slayer's Kerry King, King Diamond, and more—For The Sake Of Heaviness is, first and foremost, Brian Slagel's personal conversation about his life's passion, and the passion that drives Metal Blade: finding, exposing, and promoting the best heavy music on the planet.

Toen gitarist James Hetfield frontman werd van Metallica, bracht hij de band op het pad van obscure thrash metal-pioniers naar megarocksterren. Zijn herkenbare en overweldigende persoonlijkheid hebben daarbij een sleutelrol gespeeld. Maar achter Metallica's succes gaat met Hetfield ook een genie met persoonlijke demonen schuil, die de toekomst van de band onder druk hebben gezet. Hetfield overwon zichzelf en kwam twee keer zo hard terug als een herboren rocklegende.
