A radical re-writing of the history and politics of black metal music, Tonight It’s a World We Bury explores a range of tendencies central to black metal and uncovers their potential as critiques of capitalism.
Challenging the commonly-held perception that black metal is a genre of the right ― full of wannabe Vikings, Nazis, skinheads and other unsavoury characters ― Bill Peel looks at an array of black metal artists to re-affirm the genre as radically anticapitalist, revolutionary and left-wing.
Utilising an eclectic range of black metal bands, including Darkthrone, Burzum, Liturgy and Deathspell Omega, and taking in the works of Marx, Nietzsche, Deleuze and more, Tonight It's a World We Bury is a book on black metal like no other.
