Synopsis[edit]
The book is divided into three parts, the first of which covers Satanism's history from the beginnings of the Black Mass to the aristocratic members of the Hellfire Club.
The second half looks at Satanism in the twentieth century, including Aleister Crowley, the Church of Satan, the Manson Family, and the growth of occult-inspired bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
The final section of the book examines the new waves of Thrash Metal, Death Metal, and Scandinavian Black Metal, the Burzum's Varg Vikernes Euronymous' murder, the neo-Nazi element and the religious right's courts quest of heavy metal.
The book is richly decorated throughout with graphics, mediaeval ornaments, and exquisite images, and it also includes a comment from Anton LaVey, author of The Satanic Bible.
