Shane Embury: Life…? And Napalm Death

Image of the Classic and Signature editions of Life…? And Napalm Death by Shane Embury

Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury has been a major figure in grindcore for more than four decades, and his story is closely tied to the history of that scene. Life…? And Napalm Death takes the reader on a front seat, white-knuckle ride through the sights, sounds, places, and people who’ve been central to the music and the life. Told in his own, inimitable style, this is not just the life story of Shane, but also a history of Napalm Death and their part in the development of grindcore from the beginning to the present.
