The Dynamic Duo rattle the swill bucket, and the scene oinks back.

After the completion of Isten 100, the two top metal thinkers Mattila and Sarna started working hard on another scenelicious volume. This time they took a more academic point of view into metal, and delved deeply into the thin facade of satanism, occultism and neo-paganism which have clung themselves into the 90's metal like clap to an easy groupie.

I read this through with great joy and found myself baffled with the most interesting nuggets of inane black metal trivia, exposed and put down to eternal rest.

This is the book which will end the current era of metal with a bang and give birth to a new one. The future won't be the same anymore.
