Kris Pulaski was the lead guitarist for Dürt Würk, a heavy metal band on the verge of stardom in the 1990s until their lead singer, Terry Hunt, betrayed the group for a solo contract. Two decades later, Kris lives in poverty while Terry reigns as a global superstar. When Kris realizes Terry literally sold the souls of his bandmates to attain his success, she sets out on a cross-country road trip to confront him. The narrative follows her through backwoods Pennsylvania and corporate fortresses as she battles occult conspiracies and the physical manifestation of capitalist exploitation.
This book serves enthusiasts of heavy metal history and readers interested in the intersection of horror and social commentary. It provides a look at the grit of the music industry and the endurance of artistic integrity against corporate greed. Readers walk away with a story about reclaiming one's autonomy from a system designed to consume it, alongside a deep appreciation for the technical craft and emotional release found in extreme music subcultures.
