| ______________________________________ [Mar 21,2004 3:51am - the_reverend ""] it's good until ishan starts talking.. then I fell asleep. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 21,2004 12:40pm - dreadkill ""] i liked that book. it was interesting. some of the interviews were retarded, but i liked the analytical aspects of the book. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 21,2004 1:04pm - Kalopsia ""] i read it too, really good book IMO you guys should get Death Metal Music: The Passion And Politics of a Subculture by Natalie Purcell. very informative |
| _________________________________ [Mar 21,2004 2:55pm - phantos ""] the 70s punk movement transposed to the 90s... a little different fashion.. some worse ideas... and a bit of Kerosene. interesting book. |

The actual Lords of Chaos didn't even have anything to do with black metal by any stretch of imagination. I think that they had a little trouble staying focused. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 12:20am - Ninkaszi187 ""] Decent read. Mike Moynihan (check out his project Blood Axis) did a pretty good job. It mostly deals with Norway, and politics the author agrees with. It could have brought up bands from the US, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Italy, Brazil, Greece, Australia, etc that have just as much history/importance as Norway. Too much focus on the sensationalism, but I guess that was the idea. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:31pm - BornSoVile ""] I liked this book. I'd like to check out the 2nd edition I guess there's about 50 extra pages and more interviews with Varg. I hated the chapter on the florida kids. American Hardcore is a good read as well, published by Feral House. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 22,2004 4:33pm - davyp ""] it was one of the best books about black metal i've read. infact it made me want to write the definitive book on the history of metal,, i haven't done that yet but someday i will. that book is actually what got me interested in BM |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 24,2004 8:54am - The_ExhumeD ""] good books: American psycho, hells angels (hunter S Thompson), Fear and Loathing...(hunterS),modern love and other tall tales ( boyd) |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2004 2:12pm - MyDeadDoll ""] i liked American Psycho too. It was better than the movie. I loved the writing style. It's hard for some people to get into, but once you start getting into the style it's written in, it makes a good read. |
