I’m just so excited more of the Society 1 and my story is going to be told.”

Authored by Alex Milazzo , founder of Heavy Music Artwork —the publisher behind acclaimed titles such as Heavy Music Artwork #15 , Masterpieces 2020 , Ripping Tongues , Heretic , and Masterpieces 2022 — Everyone Dies: The Matt Zane Reckoning continues the company’s legacy of producing visually stunning and intellectually rich volumes exploring the darker corners of heavy music and art.
