Product Description
"When were on the road, all we watch is VBS, and our favorite series is Norwegian Black Metal." (Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters) Documentary photographer Peter Beste has spent the last five years working in the milieu of the Norwegian black metal scene. This scene, with its notorious events of murder, church arson, and self-mythology, is absolutely sealed to outsiders. The international black metal fan base is one of the most devoted, fanatical, and proprietary in the world. Bestes access and insight into this world is unprecedented and has yielded an amazing photographic journey, along with a very popular documentary series on VBS.tv, also available on YouTube. Beste, together with Johan Kugelberg, noted writer, editor, and collector of documentary photography, has brought the images into a hermeneutic narrative that makes for a compelling experience along the lines of Anders Petersens Caf Lehmitz, Ed Van Der Elskens Love on the Left Bank, or William Kleins Life Is Good and Good for You in New York.

 The big book of Norwegian pictures October 21, 2008
A coffee-table book that's guaranteed to start up a conversation, it's full of pictures detailing the black metal subculture from Norway. The photos and layout of the book are excellent and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the book's creation. This book is perhaps the best way for an outsider to approach Norwegian Black Metal since one can actually get a glimpse of the subculture without having to appreciate the music that goes with it.
Black Metal receives an appropriately artful treatment September 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Peter Beste has made this book an essential photographic record for fans of the genre and anyone interested or curious about it. Although the inherently extreme nature of black metal symbolism makes for an easy target this collection presents the subject matter through crisp, stunning visuals and an overall volume that's made with class and objectivity, if perhaps some enhancement of the philosophy behind the music with several grand quotes. This book also includes a great timeline of the black metal genre as well as a collection of tabloid-style newspaper and magazine (Kerrang, for one) feature articles regarding the "bad old days" of Norwegian black metal.br /If you've listened to black metal for years, are just starting, or are curious about the genre, go ahead and pick this up. It's well worth every dollar of Amazon's reduced price tag.
Hail Norway September 10, 2008
Specific details about the whole Mayhem controversy, well-taken pictures that describe the story just by looking @ them... from the very first page u can sense creativity. It's art delivered from someone that spent time to understand finally came to love the style, just by saying what the music really is. That's it. U don't wana buy it, then don't. I just got a piece of history in my hands
Nice Book September 2, 2008
