Author J.J. Anselmi to Release ‘Doomed to Fail: The Incredibly Loud History of Doom, Sludge, and Post-metal’ February 11, 2020
In 1968, Black Sabbath turned the rock music world on its head by playing blues-based music at a snail’s pace through thundering amps, essentially forging a sonic template for what would―years later―become known as doom metal. In the decades that would follow the Sab’s rise, myriad masters of riff followed suit: Bang, Sir Lord Baltimore, Lucifer’s Friend, Pentagram, Uriah Heep, and many more, pushing the style in darker directions and deeper underground. On February 11, 2020, Rare Bird Books will release Doomed to Fail: The Incredibly Loud History of Doom, Sludge, and Post-metal, from author and musician J.J. Anselmi. The 312 page tome dives deep into heavy music’s dungeon, exploring the tectonic timeline of the weightiest music the world has ever heard, and tracing doom, sludge, and post-metal as their own distinct (and incredibly loud) traditions. View a trailer for Doomed to Fail at this location.
