Summary

Tonight It's a World We Bury by Bill Peel offers a radical re-examination of black metal, challenging its reputation as a right-wing genre dominated by Nazis and skinheads. Instead, the book reveals black metal as a scene deeply rooted in anticapitalist and revolutionary left-wing politics. Drawing on a wide range of bands including Darkthrone, Burzum, Liturgy, and Deathspell Omega, and weaving in ideas from Marx, Nietzsche, and Deleuze, Peel explores the genre's potential as a powerful critique of capitalism.

Description

Tonight It's a World We Bury explores a range of tendencies central to black metal and uncovers their potential as critiques of capitalism.

Tonight It's a World We Bury is a radical re-writing of the history and politics of black metal music.

Challenging the commonly-held perception that black metal is a genre of the right—full of wannabe Vikings, Nazis, skinheads and other unsavoury characters—Tonight It's a World We Bury 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.
