A 152 page hard cover book filled with classic and rare photos, alongside the inside story of the label's rise from pubs to major label deals and back to indie again, as told by artists and staff who were there.

Earache: 35 Years Of Noise features never-before-heard stories and classic and rare photos that will add to fans' memories of Earache Records and its ground-breaking artist roster. From the explosion of grindcore and death metal, to the infamous police raid in the offices, plus countless flops and mishaps along the way, the book offers a peek inside an often chaotic, but ultimately successful and enduring, independent label.

Written by Guy Strachan (Terrorizer magazine) and Dave Ling (Metal Hammer magazine), and with forewords written by Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy) and Digby Pearson, Earache: 35 Years Of Noise is a coffee-table style hardback book (152 pages), which offers up the inside story of the pioneering independent record label, recounting the 35-year history behind its enduring rock and metal legacy, from inception to present day.

The book is told through the recollections of numerous artists who were signed to the label and staff (both past and present), giving the inside view on the label’s meteoric ascent from its DIY roots, to American major label deals, then ultimately back to being fully indie again. Trailblazers such as current and former members of Napalm Death, At The Gates, Carcass and Morbid Angel explain exactly what happened as the scene exploded and their releases on Earache created the extreme metal genre which took over the globe.

The latter half of the book brings fans up to date with the label's reinvention as an outlet for new bands playing 21st century bluesy rock'n'roll. Members of Rival Sons, The Temperance Movement and Blackberry Smoke give their insights into how Earache transformed to its current guise as a classic rock powerhouse boasting twenty UK Top 40 chart placings, and hosting a stage at Glastonbury Festival.

Earache Records has had an extraordinary cultural impact and influence on the rock and metal scene across the past four decades which continues to endure in the present day. The label was invited to curate stages for renowned UK festivals Glastonbury Festival, Kendal Calling, Camp Bestival and Boomtown Fair in recent years due to its influence, and this activity has seen large coverage in mainstream media such as the BBC and The Guardian. The label has seen over 20 million album sales in its history across over 700 album releases. Pearson was awarded the Association of Independent Music’s Pioneer Award in 2015 for his legacy and impact on the industry.

You can get this online free, but I bought it. Let Fanon turn your brain inside out.
I actually like the idea of supporting a press that is publishing Fanon. When I was growing up with my dad working with the SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as part of the night security crew for the summer marches, I was probably more aware than most Americans -- certainly most Americans outside of the black community -- of how much permeability there was between the nonviolent SCLC, and the Black Panther movement, for which Fanon was a seed influence. Youth in the SNCC organization, the youth group associated with the SCLC, often went back and forth between SNCC and the Panthers as they developed their activist identity and their ideas of how justice might be achieved. The phrase "by any means necessary" used by the Panthers often scared the bejeezus out of the white community. But when I sat down with my father -- who was an adherent of formal nonviolence -- he handed me Fanon to read, and told me that it was a valid investigation as to whether violence should be considered if nonviolent means were not entertained by the state. To my dad, who was a peaceful but fiercely justice-oriented man (for those of you who know the idiom "fire of Amos" he had it), he considered that without the counterpoint of the Panthers, MLK would never have gotten a hearing in Washington DC. Just the idea that there were revolutionaries in American society looking at American "apartheid" and saying, "We are willing to take care of our own if you separate us. We see our situation as that of a post-colonial slavery society and use the model of African liberation as our model. We are willing to be peaceful if we are given justice in peace, but we do not believe that you are acting in good faith and will use whatever means necessary to see you follow your own promises of justice and see justice for our own people if you will not see that done." That was actually a step down from Fanon. That was actually optimism. But all white Americans heard out of any of that was: "...by any means necessary." They didn't think of how they were creating the circumstances that might precipitate violence. That whites had created a system that instituted violence to keep slaves, and later free blacks, contained and preserve power and privilege for the white majority. It is hard for most Americans to even realize that America -- although we became independent from England -- continued as a colonial nation and economy on our own continent and territory. That all the institutions of the repression and destruction of indigenous and imported-slave cultures that happened "over there" in countries that Europeans colonized far from home, we did at home as a break-away colony, and the Europeans who conquered America never relented, compromised, or acknowledged that colonial reality in the way that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, and British Empires did in their colonial domains. So Fanon is someone worth reading, not only for Africans, or for African-Americans, but for any American or anyone else in the world who wants to better ponder white privilege in America and how it became so very different from colonial privilege as that faded in Africa, through the lens of this Algerian revolutionary philosopher, who so influenced our Panthers. I remain committed to nonviolence personally, but I understand intensely how MLK and Malcolm balance each other. And how that can actually lead to better peaceful solutions, in a social justice conflict where the status quo has been preserved by judicial and extrajudicial violence by a superior force. This is still relevant in puppet regimes all over the world. In client states of capitalist powers and of Russia and China. In the conflicts surrounding Israel, and the conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia that are often couched in sectarian terms or sectarian vs secular terms. It is vital to understanding countries like Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the dynamics of early black leadership as colonial-wannabes are creating environments of corruption and scandal, and robbing their own people. Everyone should read Fanon. If you can't afford the book here, you can find it online free. This book, and Black Skin, White Masks, both highly recommended. If you don't like Marxist/Socialist politics, try to suspend disbelief a bit. The philosophy, sociology, and psychology is amazing.

Must read book on African colonial sociology and politics
Fanon describes the character of (European) colonialists, the colonised Africans (the "masses" - rural and urban, the elites, the nationalists, the tribalists) wonderfully. The book is wonderfully written - Fanon must have been a good writer. Fanon is a psychiatrist, and worked in Algeria as psychiatrist, but he many have travelled other African countries too. His book shows his deep knowledge of both African and European sociology, psychology and politics. The book is still relevant; his analysis as to what will happen after the liberation of African countries is amazingly valid. He is in a way one of the most important African (though he is born in Latin America) sociologist and political scientist. Fanon's book starts on "violence", he doesn't shy away from prescribing violence in the struggle for liberation. Some find Fanon advocating violence, but that is not the case. He puts in perspective the violence perpetrated by colonists against the resulting reaction that culminates in the violence of the colonised. His clear analysis demystifies the violence that still grips Africa. Unfortunately Fanon seems to put all European in Africa as colonists. Many cases from South Africa show that that should not be the case. But his views may be due to the brutal repression he has to witness and experience in Algeria by the French government and French citizens there.
