This is a very niche book but has anyone read Lords of Chaos?
I read it with my 15 yr old bc she likes Mayhem, the band. She was hoping this book dived into the members of the band but it didn’t really.
It was more about Norwegian Dark/Death/Black Metal, it’s connection to “Satan worshipping,” the Satanic Panic of the 80’s & 90’s, and how it’s linked to racism, homophobia, and the far right/skin heads of today.
I’m still trying to figure out my feelings on it.
It’s VERY well researched and full of interviews of the major players. Very first person and lets those involved tell the story. Great historical context from the authors.
There’s ZERO victim focused info/interviews but I don’t think that was the point of the book.
I’d love to talk about it with someone!
Also, if anyone has info on books about Mayhem or the band members, please let me know.
