In The Pit Vol. 2: Shot In The Dark - Metal & Thrash in the 80's & 90's by Alison Braun

From Alison Braun: This book features 112 pages and 59 of my favorite Metal and Thrash bands, many before they became famous - including: Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Motorhead, and Suicidal Tendencies.

Alison Braun started taking photos in Los Angeles at the advent of the 80s, documenting the local punk and hardcore scene and having her work published in Maximumrocknroll, Flipside and other punk zines of the time. Many a band she saw through the lenses of her camera, from local heroes Black Flag, Descendents, Circle Jerks, Bad Reliigion, Dickies, Fear, Social Distortion, Youth Brigade, Adolescents,… to international acts that would roll through the town (GBH, Exploited, Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Adicts, DOA, Bad Brains, Discharge, Misfits, SNFU,…), not to forget countless other “small” bands that populated SoCal underground scene in those years (Battalion Of Saints, Channel 3, Aggression, Decry, Wasted Youth, Dr. Know, 45 Grave, Bl´ast, Shattered Faith, Sin 34,…). You can find it all here in this book.
