An encyclopaedic guide to the outrageous brand of heavy metal rock music known as Black Metal - a genre that more than any other has pushed the boundaries of aural extremity and social rebellion to the limit. Packed with biographies, line ups, and full discographies with track listings for over 2,000 bands, this is the last word on Black Metal and literally covers every known band regardless of size or geography. Also includes an examination of related genre including the Black ambient scene (!), Viking Metal, Grindcore and Noisecore. Essential reading for all metal fans.
