Synopses & Reviews
Bands including Dead, Euronymous, and Varg Vikernes along with sociologists, police officers, theologians, and occultists recount how the satanic Black Metal, a spin-off of the heavy metal underground, devolved into acts of church burning, murder, and suicide in Scandinavia. This second edition, fully revised, discusses the crimes committed by Black Metal practitioners since 1997 in one of the strangest sagas in the history of rock and roll. Over 200 photos and illustrations are included.
