AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Plumbum traces the fortunes of the five unalluring members of what is eventually the world's most successful heavy-metal band, from the drab, planned dullness of Canberra to the humid unpleasantness of Sydney to the violent nightmare of Calcutta, a city which effectively disperses the group's aspirations to mystic fulfillment.'
