A selection of dense occultish/academic/philosophical tracts and personal essays that widen the idea of what black metal is and who the scene represents. Sometimes I felt like I was lost in a thick swamp of words, other times I was frantically nodding my head in agreement, and even more times I was writing down names of authors and bands that I need to look up. Black metal is for everyone and this is a fascinating and head spinning read about the genre.
