For Your Book Club

I’m guessing I’ve mentioned this book before here, but I just can’t help but mention it again as it’s just so great in so many ways. The book, of course, is Lords of Chaos by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Søderlind and is so fun and interesting, I’m actually reading it for the second time right now. The book is primarily about Scandinavian Black Metal and occultism and stuff like that but then gets into all sorts of other crazy shit besides all that. It originally came out in 1998 but I recently stumbled upon the revised version that came out in 2003 and decided to check it out. The new version is even more satany, but to be honest you can’t go wrong with either edition. Whether you are into black metal or not, the book is full of all sorts of stuff that is at times funny, sad, scary, shocking, amazing, and just interesting to read in general. Also, Lords of Chaos is written from a fairly objective viewpoint, so at times you can’t help but wonder exactly where the authors stand on various things like Nazism, fascism, church burning, murder, nationalism, etc. But, hey, you’re a smart fella- I’m sure you’ll get through it just fine and come to your own conclusions. As they say at the end of really fun baking recipes- enjoy!
