Offering an unparalleled level of detail, and spanning 600 pages, Black
Metal: Evolution of the Cult captures the progress of the genre, from
its infancy in the early eighties through to its resurrection in the
nineties and onwards to the fascinating scene we see today. Combining a
wealth of interviews with the key individuals involved with editorial
insight and iconic (and often unseen) photography this epic tome
examines the artistic, musical, spiritual development of the genre and
the creative work, ideologies and often colourful lives of some of its
most significant bands.
