Adrian Harte's poetry collection is a startling and intense exploration of the poet in his world, with poems of humour, love, violence, trauma. Harte dissects and examines life with honesty and courage and a baffled outrage at the inhumanity of much of the modern world. Richly evocative, Red Rite Hand is a triumphant first collection, remarkable for the poetic skill of the writer and the control and passion of his work.

'When I first heard about this Faith No More biography, I didn't know what to think. But I have to give credit where it is due, it's a quality piece. The man has done his research and it shows. It provided me with more than a few revelations ... and I'm in the band.' Bill Gould, Faith No MoreSmall Victories: The True Story of Faith No More is the definitive biography of one of the most intriguing bands of the late twentieth century. Written with the participation of the group's key members, it tells how such a heterogeneous group formed, flourished, and fractured, and how Faith No More helped redefine rock, metal and alternative music. The book chronicles the creative and personal tensions that defined and fuelled the band, forensically examines the band's beginnings in San Francisco's post-punk wasteland, and charts the factors behind the group's ascent to MTV-era stardom.Small Victories strips away the mythology and misinformation behind their misanthropic masterpiece Angel Dust, explores the rationale behind the frequent hiring and firing of band members, and traces the unraveling of the band in the mid-1990s. It also examines the band's breakup and hiatus, explores their unwelcome legacy as nu-metal godfathers, and gives a behind-the-scenes view of their rebirth.Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews with current and former band members and other key figures, Small Victories combines a fan's passion with a reporter's perspicacity.

Virallinen bändihistoriikki kuoppaisesta matkasta menestykseen.Faith No Moren tarina on sisäpiirikertomus raskaan vaihtoehtomusiikin uranuurtajasta; rumasta ankanpoikasesta, josta kasvoi omaehtoinen outolintu ja kansainvälinen kultti-ikoni.Teoksessa kuvataan, kuinka yhtye joutui matkan varrella toistuvasti taistelemaan musiikkiteollisuuden lainalaisuuksia vastaan. Töyssyisellä taipaleella suurimmat haasteet ovat kuitenkin liittyneet bändin sisäisiin jännitteisiin.Bändin tarina sisältää myös monia historiallisesti kiinnostavia kiertueanekdootteja, kuten keikka Berliinissä muurin kaatumisen iltana tai esiintymiset Chilessä, jotka merkitsivät Chilen kansalle lopullista demokratian paluuta.Adrian Harte on sveitsiläinen journalisti ja kirjailija. Hän toimi pitkään Faith No More -yhtyeen fanisivuston ylläpitäjänä ja tutustui tuona aikana hyvin niin bändin jäseniin kuin faneihinkin.
