A review by comrademum
Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground by Michael Moynihan, Didrik Søderlind
3.0
While this book is a solid timeline of the Norwegian Black Metal scene of the early 90s and the subsequent crimes that resulted from it, the authors lost me halfway. The latter half of the book chronicles the belief system of several influential people in the Black Metal scene disturbingly well. I say "disturbingly" because these people are nationalists, fascists, and neo-nazis. How many interviews can one book have with different people spouting the same rhetoric before the reader concludes the authors share the mindset of these hate mongers?
