In the summer of 1989 Eric Bullard took a month off from his job as Vice-President in charge of sales and marketing for the family publishing company and returned to the Hindu ashram where he had lived and studied for three years. It was supposed to be a vacation, a sort of rest before the heavy Christmas season's workload. But what he found there and the resulting years of uncertainty, mystery, and finally great magic will leave readers on the edge of their seats, questioning their own perceptions of reality.Sometimes shocking, sometimes humorous, always on the edge, "The Ashram" is a true story and unforgettable adventure: the unfolding of one man's unconscious mind and his travels through the wilds of Central America as he comes to grips with what he has found. Synopsis: Destined to leave readers on the edge of their seats, questioning their own perceptions of reality, "The Ashram" is one of the most unique, original, true, spiritual adventure stories of all time. Beginning in 1983, the story chronicles Eric Bullard's personal search which begins at the end of a six month odyssey through the South Pacific when he begins to question all that he has seen and lived in life up to that point. Now, desperate and preparing to return to the exact same world that he left six months earlier, he retreats up to the remote summit of Mount Solitaire in the Blue Mountains of Australia for a final week of fasting and contemplation in the hope that the answers he so desperately needs will come. Once there he reads a book on meditation, becomes fascinated with the subject, learns to meditate, and achieves great results. Two years later he enters into a Hindu ashram where he spends he majority of he next seven years studying deep meditation techniques. The real heart of the story begins to unfold in 1989 when, after four years in the ashram, Eric participates in a thirty day intensive meditation course during which he experiences a set of deep spiritual experiences that irrevocably change his life forever. Totally unprepared for what he has seen and experienced on the course, he spends the next three years in the ashram trying to come to grips with what he has found and now suspects lies deep within each and every other human being.This main story line is further expanded and articulated upon by the second story line of the book which occurs nine years later as Eric, after living in Mexico and Guatemala for four years, decides to hike across the remote, war-torn Cuchamatane Mountains of Guatemala with a couple of hiking companions that he has just met. Not sure what they might find, if it is safe, or even the way, they end up becoming lost in the perilous mountains then helped by the humble yet courageous Highland Mayan Indians that they meet along the way. Arriving to the other side of the mountain range the trio enters into a mysterious, ancient Mayan kingdom known as the Ixil Triangle where they are confronted by the incredible devastation left over by the recently ended Guatemalan Civil War. Venturing deeper into the Triangle and the tragedy that lies within, Eric is finally forced to confront the personal demons, fears and doubts that have been plaguing him since the course of nine years earlier and discover something far greater then he could have ever imagined.
MaximumMetal.com has been an online source of comprehensive music reviews, in-depth interviews and exclusive original columns for over 10 years. After nearly 1,000 written reviews, senior editor ERIC COMPTON has launched a new alphabetical book series, "DENIM & LETTERS". This first installment, "PIECES OF A", is a mammoth collection featuring all of Compton's thorough online reviews plus additional reviews written exclusively for the book. Included are detailed commentaries from the bands represented here, from hard rock acts like ACCEPT and AMERICAN DOG to extremists like ABYSMAL DAWN and THE ARCANE ORDER. Eric Compton has meticulously gathered over 130 reviews and over 30 interviews spanning a 15 year period from 1999-2014. This 31,000 word volume is loaded with bands describing their body of work over multiple sub-genres of heavy metal music. Praise for Eric Compton: "Eric's been a faithful and engaging brother in metal, steering us right and smartly now through his celebrated Maximum Metal wordsmithing for going on fully one half the life of the internet...actually slightly longer. His massive alphabetical undertaking will no doubt prove a vital addition to metal scholarship, given its skilled scope across many genres of metal, and certain unique stylistic touches, such as the inclusion of band quotes within many of his adept reviews." - Martin Popoff, author of 47 books on heavy metal "Having run Maximum Metal for over ten years, I could pick Eric's reviews out from any of the multitude of other writers. His book series, "Denim & Letters", is more than just a collection of words. It's a process to get involved in Eric's feelings toward a musical art that has been around for over forty years. His excitement towards music touches you the same way the music touched him; the same way the energy of a vital song latches onto your brain stem and powers the thumps of your heart. More than a gateway into another dimension, he is another dimension -- a dimension where you shrink down and ride the grooves of vinyl and expand in and out of digital 1's and 0's with him. His distinct love for hard music has been unfaltering over the years I've known him and I fully expect he'll be writing about the latest metal releases well into his gray years. I don't think he knows how to fry an egg properly, but he can damn sure write about metal." - Frank Hill, MaximumMetal.com owner "This guy knows how to write Eric has kicked so much ass supporting and reviewing metal music for eons. Trustworthy penmanship and an honest, from the heart, delivery. 100% proper " - King Fowley (Deceased/October 31) "This is Eric's beginning of his labor of love, his music books. He loves doing it, so I bet we will love reading it " - Lenny Haze (Y&T/Ian Gillan/Ronnie Montrose) "It's always a pleasure reading Eric's reviews because he gets behind the music with facts that proves that he spends hours in research and his description of the music is always perfect." - Mikael Dahl (Crystal Eyes)
