Book Reviews of Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground New Edition
Book Review: A good read, but maybe too ambitious
Summary: 3 Stars
I am glad I purchased and read this book; it has many merits. It covers the rise of Norwegian Black Metal quite well. Plus, there are some very good interviews; my favorites are interviews with Varg Vikernes, Ihsahn, and Hellhammer. And, it gave some interesting information on black metal from other countries. It truly is an informative read, and this leads into one of the issues I have with the book. It almost seems to cover too much.
What I mean by this is that I feel that the authors try to cover more ground than they should have in one book. Moving from the music and events of the rise of black metal into sociological examinations of Satanism (including an interview with Anton LaVey), Norse mythology, and even some Jungian psychology is truly fascinating, and I respect the authors' willingness to take it all on. These are, after all, major elements found in black metal. Nevertheless, I was left feeling that there was a lack of cohesion as a result of the authors' ambitiousness. And, while I do not feel that the authors succumbed to the sensationalistic elements of black metal, I believe that they did come close at times.
I would recommend this book as a primer to black metal, and I would recommend it for the interviews. I believe that, had the focus been tighter, this book would be much better.

Summary of Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground New Edition
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.History & Criticism Books
