And then it explains the correlations between the Black Metal scene and Satanism and later, National Socialism. Also, it explains a lot of why it started in Norway and not somewhere else, regarding a lot of pre-Christian Germanic and Nordic tribal traditions.

Sorry, not trying to explain the whole book to you. But there is a lot of interesting info in it to anyone with a general intrigue regarding that scene of music.

Yeah, I'd recommend it.
