The legendary Dez Fafara is set to release an autobiography through Rare Bird Books on September 5th 2023. 'Loco: Chaos, Calamity, and Coal Chamber' will be the first volume of the autobiography.
Not only is Fafara a frontman for two iconic bands in the metal world, he is also a multipke brand owner, an artisit manager and a motivational guru.
The book was written with Joel McIver, the bestselling author of 'Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica.' He has also written for the likes of Metal Hammer, Classic Rock and Rolling Stone; he has also written the official Cannibal Corpse biography.
This particular volume will cover the time Dez was simply known as 'Bradley Fafara;' a kid in Hollywood who escaped a difficult start to become one of the 90s most memorable and colourful rock stars.
In an interview recently with "Everblack" podcast, Fafara confirmed: "That's gonna be a reall tell-all. I think people are gonna get a chance to see where I come from as a kid. 'Cause I left hime early, slept under bridges, stole food, went to jail. And I think people are gonna really get a view of, like, 'it's a hard-knock life.'"
With his band Coal Chamber, Dez pioneered a whole new sound and visual, touring the world, battling innumerable obstacles and ultimately breaking free to go solo with DevilDriver, the focus of Volume Two of Fafara's two-book autobiography plan. Titled after Coal Chamber’s 1997 hit, Loco describes the arc of a man who was ripped off, let down, and beaten up, but who never quit―and who ultimately achieved his own form of redemption. Includes 50+ black-and-white and full-color images.
