About this Author
Reviews
"* * * * * *! The most incredible story in the history of music ... a heavyweight book."--Kerrang!
"An unusual combination of true crime journalism, rock and roll reporting and underground obsessiveness, Lords of Chaos turns into one of the more fascinating reads in a long time."-- Denver Post
"A meticulously researched exposé... a fascinating read. If you thought the feuds associated with Death Row Records were a bit over-the-top, then take a glimpse into the dark corners of the metal underground." -- The Face
"A riveting read, equal parts history, sociopolitical analysis, and true crime." -- Spin
"The authors of Lords of Chaos clearly know the international Metal/Satanism picture and, largely through interviews, have brought information to light of which religion scholars as well as the general public ought to be aware... highly recommended." -- Robert Ellwood, Historian of Religion, writing in Nova Religio
"Gripping stuff, a book about scary rock that is really scary." -- Booklist
"This exhaustive, near-academic look at metal's satanic underground simultaneously traces the Devil's ascent through rock history and provide cultural antecedents for music-related violence and paganism." -- Alternative Press
"With Lords of Chaos Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind paint a portrait of a fantastic realm where Satanism, neo-paganism and National Socialism energized a musical scene in which fantasy was actualized in the burning of medieval churches in Norway ...a uniquely valuable history of Black Metal music in general and of the Norwegian scene in particular as it is viewed by the participants themselves. Lords of Chaos is a compelling work deserving of a wide readership on both sides of the Atlantic." -- Dr. Jeffrey Kaplan, author of Radical Religion in America
