Another post about a book.. well, there are just a few concerts now and I have been to a christmas party with Lazy man's load, Suicidal angels and Nightstalker. But that's not black metal, so i'll just leave it there. Still hoping for the mayhem/mortiis tour, but it looks bleak to be honest..
Anyways, this one is a true gem here. I am SO happy i bought this. I did think about it for a while because I don't really need the CDs. But I needed that book. Not having seen it before i wasn't sure if it would be worth it. if it's just ten pages with a bit of information i would have been disappointed. But this here is pure gold.
This book explains the beginnings of Darkthrone, most of the content is from interviews with the guys themselves and other involved parties. So this is in their own words. It's a lengthy enough book and it explains a lot of things that were also new to me. I loved to read about every single album, how they came about and how they were released.
This ties nicely together also with Ted's solo stuff and his DVD he had released and that I have in my possession. It explains his feelings and his escapism. Fenriz talks about his depression and his own demons he had to fight. All in all a great book, with huge and plenty photographs, some published for the first time. This is eye candy as well! all in all this was one of the best buys ever, I love to have this in my collection.
