My Latest Book [Released November 2024]

From the back cover: "Since their earliest incarnation in Yonkers, NY as Rigor Mortis in 1986, the members of Immolation have blazed an uncompromising path from the nascent tape-trading underground through their current standing as one of the most beloved bands in death metal history.

Propelled by the dissonant harmonic acrobatics of guitarist Robert Vigna and the subterranean growl and slashing rhythms of bassist/vocalist Ross Dolan, Immolation’s core duo not only led death metal landmarks like Dawn of Possession but piloted the band through music industry pitfalls of dubious record contacts, sketchy agents and the mid-’90s commercial collapse of the subgenre they helped perfect—and never abandoned.

Into Everlasting Fire: The Official History of Immolation provides eyewitness accounts from ex-members, label owners, producers and fellow artists who were part of the band’s relentless climb to the top of the modern death metal landscape. Penned by longtime extreme metal journalist Kevin Stewart-Panko, featuring a foreword by Deadguy guitarist Keith Huckins, and boasting stunning new art from legendary Immolation cover artist Andreas Marschall, Into Everlasting Fire is Immolation’s fully authorized, unprecedented look into the band’s career via countless in-depth interviews, studio recollections, harrowing and hilarious road stories and dozens of exclusive photos. 460 pages including a 16-page color section."
