Features exclusive interviews with:• SATYRICON / STORM / MOONFOG• MANES• CAMPFAR• SOLEFALD• WARDRUNA (+ JOTUNSPUR / GORGOROTH)• XANTOTOL• ARKONA• MASTIPHAL• EVILFEAST• MGLA• CUTTING MACHINE• STRID• BETHLEHEM• SILENCER• FORGOTTEN TOMB• TOTAL NEGATION • Artist THEODOR KITTELSEN and his impact on black metal aesthetics.”Patterson focuses on three strands of black metal – an expanded Norwegian chapter, plus the Polish scene and the depressive / suicidal black metal subgenre – dissecting each thread in minute detail with the assistance of the musicians themselves. This is where your value for money comes in: most of these headbangers have never been opened up before about their music and the philosophy that drives it … It’s a mighty achievement and may Satan usher in a second volume before too long… through a series of exclusive interviews Patterson gives ample space to bands who thought underground were able to make a mark in the extreme scene. “Joel McIver (RECORD COL LECTOR magazine)“In the latest years I often detest to reply to interviews since they’re usually very boring and it seems like writers do not really know the band that well, resulting in stupid or boring questions. It was the actual opposite with Dayal, since all the questions were challenging and gave me a chance to finally speak my mind about several points in the history of my band. The way the whole chapter was put together is very entertaining, honest and exhaustive. If someone wants to know more about Forgotten Tomb this is certainly the proper way to do it. ”Mr. Morbid (FORGOTTEN TOMB)“Throughout my 20 years with Kampfar I’ve done hundreds of interviews with everything from hobby journalists to professional full time journalists. I’ve even done some interviews with authors who would like some help with some informative pieces they would have in place, in relation to particular Norwegian black metal anno in early nineties etc. Very often these interviews are very similar and without any depth unfortunately.When I met Dayal the first time it was way before it all had begun with his first book Evolution of the Cult. Even back then I noticed early on that Dayal had more than just the great strength in his written word. He also had a ‘wonderful’ knowledge of black metal. No journalist or author has ever gotten me to go so in depth or divulge so much of Kampfar as he. He got me to speak of things I just only revealed my closest friends before. And now its too late to regret that I revealed this too Dayal too. ”Dolk (KAMPFAR)
