Misery Index bassist and frontman Jason Netherton has written a book (that you can buy here and further appreciate the cover art by Putrid Gore here) called Extremity Retained. The book is 480-pages of pure death metal history as told by everyone who has been there over the years, and I mean everyone. This is just a partial list of the participants in the book… so yeah, take this list and multiply it by like, three. Or seventy. I have no idea.
