True Norwegian Black Metal; Hardcover Book (2009)
$180.00
Over the last almost three decades, a bizarre and violent musical subculture called Black Metal emerged in Norway. In the early-mid 1990s, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society.
American documentary photographer Peter Beste has spent the last eight years working in the milieu of this insulated and secretive community. Beste’s access and insight has been absolutely without precedent, resulting in an amazing photographic journey.
Large scale, beautifully presented, Limited edition of 666 copies. New.
