Probably my favorite material is about the Pelle "Dead" character from Mayhem. He developed an obsession with Bathory and got to meet him at a record signing but the guy wasn't extreme enough in real life. It's actually all kind of funny in a black humor kind of way. Definitely great for finding new bands-- which is why I purchase books -- learn new stuff. Review: Great read! - 🖤

Another Feral House Classic
Great book on Swedish metal scene Lots of great stories. Probably my favorite material is about the Pelle "Dead" character from Mayhem. He developed an obsession with Bathory and got to meet him at a record signing but the guy wasn't extreme enough in real life. It's actually all kind of funny in a black humor kind of way. Definitely great for finding new bands-- which is why I purchase books -- learn new stuff.

Hail Quorthon!
Great book and pretty concise on the whole Swedish metal scene and it’s many sub genres. Unlike a lot of similar books the author did their best to keep their biases out of the writing. A must read for anyone interested in heavy metal and the culture around it.

Wide ranging but detailed
This book covers a mix of metal genres in Scandinavia and will cover so familiar ground for many fans, but it won't dwell on any one area (except maybe the pervasiveness of satanism) and instead covers a diverse set of perspectives and topics. The authors present interactions with band members objectively and the amount of time they put into their research is evident. Overall I liked it a lot and ended up finding the chapter on Bathory very memorable.

Genial libro ! Lo amé, como fan del metal sueco y noruego,descubrí a través de este libro nuevas perspectivas y rompí muchas creencias sin bases, ver el lado humano de las caras pintadas de cadaver fue genial, iconos del metal sueco desmitificados o quizás una perspectiva aún más grande ! gracias !

The stories in here are about particular bands in each genre, but the amount of background info is surprising. The black metal stories are eye openers; the scene is stranger even than it seemed before. Very worth reading.
