Taken from blabbermouth:
A new book, "Extreme Metal II", is due for global
publication in April 2005 by Omnibus Press. The author
is Joel McIver, whose best-selling 2004 opus, "Justice
For All: The Truth About Metallica", was the first
book to express in depth the disappointment that
thousands of metal fans feel about the band's recent
music. "Extreme Metal II" is the successor to 2000's
"Extreme Metal", which was the first single-volume
guide to the international thrash, black and death
metal scenes. The new book has expanded the original's
coverage to almost 400 of the world's most
groundbreaking metal bands: its foreword was written
specially by Mille Petrozza of KREATOR and it includes
Q&As with metal luminaries such as Dave Mustaine
(MEGADETH), Gene Hoglan (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DARK
ANGEL), Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, SEPULTURA) and Andy
Sneap (producer for such acts as MACHINE HEAD,
NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY, SKINLAB and EXODUS). The book
also boasts over 100 new interviews with members of
the following bands:

On a side note, I own the original Extreme Metal book and enjoy it IMMENSELY. I would've bought this 2nd version in the store without even looking at the bands since I knew how much I liked the original. But now, you KNOW I will preorder this puppy!!!
Too many of my friend's bands in here for me not to. hehe
