TRUE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL: We Turn in the Night Consumed by Fire, Photography by Peter Beste, Edited by Johan Kugelberg
Brooklyn, New York: Vice Books, 2008. Third Edition. Hardcover. Over the course of eight years, Beste traveled to Norway thirteen times to photograph the blackest of the black: apolitical and anti-Christian separatist self-preservationists. He came away with more than 200 images of both the absurd and the deadly serious, real and fake blood, church crosses and inverted ones worn as the jewelry de rigeur, all set against the country's idyllic landscape. This unprecedented photographic journey is accompanied by a black metal history timeline, from Norway's conversion to Christianity to the arrival of every classic band and landmark album; additional photographs and articles from Norway's Slayer Mag, and tabloid stories on some of the infamous events associated with the movement. Introduction by Jon 'Metalion' Kristiansen. Folio. Original pictorial boards; issued without a dust jacket. Some mild shelfwear, including a small bump to the bottom corner of the front board; otherwise very good. Very good. Item #80830
