Lords of Chaos

Didrik Soderlind

Just before the turn of the millennium nearly 100 churches had been torched and desecrated by adherents of Black Metal, the most extreme form of underground music on the planet. In an escalating unholy war, Black Metal bands and their obsessive fans have left a grim legacy of suicide, murder and terrorism spreading from Norway to Germany, Russia, America and beyond. Written by two journalists, this is a unique look at this hellish scene featuring rare photos and exclusive interviews with priests, police and Satanists.

Metal shadowhunter 

Sensationalized, exaggerated in all the wrong places, diluted in the wrong ones. Glorifies Euronymous, makes him seem like a decent guy and paints the entirety of the metal subculture in a poor light. 
But there was a very well-communicated sentiment of "f*ck Varg Vikernes" so two stars.
