In 2007 it began; Detroit spawned journalist Ryan Bartek traveled the USA to create his unique exploration of American Counterculture known as "The Big Shiny Prison (Volume One)." This non-fiction road book detailed his observations of America while equally covering the heavy metal & punk rock undergrounds. 1 year, 35 States & 600+ hours on Greyhounds later, "The Big Shiny Prison" was released November 2009 to instant acclaim; a wild, high-octane manuscript featuring hundreds of face-to-face interviews with legends in the metal/punk/industrial/alt-rock undergrounds.By March 2012, "Fortress Europe (The Big Shiny Prison Vol. II)" was released - a proper sequel following the author backpacking Europe. This genre-defying work continued it's exploration of fringe culture, and once again featured hundreds of face-to-face interviews with legends in extreme metal, punk, industrial & rock."Return To Fortress Europe" is the 3rd volume of his acclaimed series, documenting an eye-opening journey through the stranger regions of Europe - Greece, Romania, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Croatia, Belgium, Germany & Netherlands - again featuring interviews with some of the most prominent metal & punk bands in their respective countries.This work is not merely a musical exploration but also a chronicle of the worldwide protests launched by Take The Square & Occupy Wall Street, their impact & realities unfolding at the time of the author's adventures. Less a music book and more a tribute to The Beat Generation, "Return To Fortress Europe" combines the classic autobiographical road novel with current European Counterculture.
Imagine a world that can scarcely be imagined – the Old Detroit, at its lowest decline, spanning Early 80's – May 2002.Imagine the life of a strange teen; a young male of Punk Rock logic & Heavy Metal obsession – reading comic books in a Misfits shirt, blasting KMFDM on his stereo & mosh-pitting at Slayer concerts.16 in 1997 – when Nine Inch Nails were at peak, Clinton was still president & Marilyn Manson was still The Antichrist.Here, we have perhaps the last of the great unknown autobiographies concerning a specific mentality & specimen of American Youth.Not only does this work uniquely capture such a mindset, but it expresses a vast commentary on the Detroit Underground: from Outlaw Rave Parties to Extreme Metal gigs, Punk Rock Chaos to The Occult. It is a tale of anguish as much as hilarity – and a poignant tract on the dangers of drug abuse & mental illness.This work began 9-11-2001 – its author 19, unknown & unpublished. Completed 2004 & sitting “on the shelf” 15+ years, it's high time to party.Here, for the first time available to the public – sitting quietly “on the shelf” 15+ years – is Ryan Bartek's “To Live & Die On Zug Island.”
