![]() ![]() The book also mentions other cases of "Satanic" murderers, such as that of Sandro Beyer by members of the German National Socialist black metal band Absurd and Caleb Fairley in the USA. On August 10, 1993, Aarseth was murdered by Vikernes, who received a 21-year sentence for the murder and several cases of arson related to the church burnings. He was subsequently convicted of this crime and sentenced to 14 years in prison (of which he served nine before being released in 2003).

Church arsons continued but with a steady decline up until 1995. In 19, members of the group became connected with a series of crimes, starting with the arson of the Fantoft stave church on June 6, 1992, although the book mentions that there had previously been a "small, ineffectual fire at Storeveit Church".

The first few chapters give an outline of the progression of heavy metal from bands such as Black Sabbath, Coven and Black Widow to proto-black metal bands such as Bathory, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, Sarcófago, Hellhammer and Venom, and finally to the early Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. The book focuses on the scene surrounding the extreme heavy metal subgenre black metal in Norway between 19. ![]() A German edition was published in 2002 with a respective revised edition following in 2005 ( ISBN 3-93).
