Underground writer/musician Ryan Bartek has returned with his particular form of extreme journalism. Following up on his acclaimed book series that began with "The Big Shiny Prison" and continued with "Fortress Europe," Bartek now unleashes "Return To Fortress Europe."
"Return To Fortress Europe" is a four part mini-series that chronicles the authors travels through Europe's fringe world of underground music and alternative culture in 2012 and 2013. These chapters will be included in a future print edition of "FORTRESS EUROPE."
The second chapter "Lisboa e a Luz de Lúcifer" features the author going to Portugal to interview two of it's most famous extreme metal bands – the avant-doom act Process of Guilt and the most infamous satanic black metal band in Portuguese history CORPUS CHRISTII.
"Return To Fortress Europe" is not just simply a work of "music writing." Bartek assumes a role similar to many American writers that flourished in times of economic crisis. Like Kerouac, Steinbeck or Henry Miller, he shines a spotlight on the complexities of unconventional lives, and saturates his writing with social and political commentary.
"Return To Fortress Europe" walks the line between journalism, autobiography, and the classic road novel. The remaining two chapters will be released in the near future and will focus on Greece, Italy, and Occupy Wall Street.
