Description
Tonight It's a World We Bury challenges the common perception of black metal as a genre associated with right-wing ideologies. Instead, it presents a radical re-writing of the history and politics of black metal music.
This book explores the anticapitalist, revolutionary, and left-wing tendencies within the genre, using an eclectic range of black metal bands to illustrate its case. From Darkthrone to Burzum, Liturgy to Deathspell Omega, Tonight It's a World We Bury uncovers the complex politics and critiques of capitalism that underpin this music.
By examining the works of influential thinkers such as Marx, Nietzsche, and Deleuze, alongside the music of black metal artists, Tonight It's a World We Bury offers a fresh perspective on the genre. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the politics and ideology behind black metal.
