In the last two decades, a bizarre and violent musical subculture called
"Black Metal" has emerged in Norway. Its roots stem from a heady blend
of horror movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Paganism, and adolescent

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.
