The first volume of the new series "Alternative Rock" presents in the most detailed way the discography, filmography, chronology, as well as lyrics with translations of the cult American group NIRVANA and its leader Kurt Cobain, who are considered the main inspirers of the ideas of grunge - a style that shook the foundations musical show business, like punk rock in the mid-70s. For some, the word NIRVANA means an elevated state akin to insight, for others - a place of final calm, something like a sensitive Paradise. But millions of rock fans understand only one thing by this - the name of the group that revolutionized the idea of the status of rock stars in the 90s. NIRVANA was one of the unique representatives of the underground scene, which found its fans both among fans of alternative rock music, thrashers, moshers, punkers, and among adherents of the traditional rock mainstream.
