Satanism is the religion of the rebel. Whether in the Black masses staged by medieval peasants, or in the showbiz blasphemies of 'Antichrist Superstar' Marilyn Manson, for hundreds of years it has been a source of theatrical self-expression for the true individualists. Lucifer Rising is the first popular history of Satanism: from Old Testament lore to the most infamous Black Metal bands, all is made accessible. Exhaustively researched, evocatively written and lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs and artwork, this is the book which makes light of popular culture's darkest secret. Exclusive interviews include the late Church of Satan fonder Anton LaVey, occult filmmaker Kenneth Anger, and the demon fathers of Black metal-including the final recorded words of Euronymous, murdered member of the band Mayhem. Lucifer Rising is divided into three provocative parts: I. The History of Satanism tells of the birth of the Black Mass, the fashionable sinners of the Hellfire Clubs, Milton's Satan and the rise of the Satanic anti-hero. II. Satanism in the 20th Century includes Aleister Crowley, the 'Great Beast'; the links between Satanism and psychedelia; the Manson Family, and the Process Church of the Final Judgement; the films of Kenneth Anger, and the formation of the Church of Satan; Satan at the cinema; the birth of occult-influenced rock music, and Christian Fundamentalism's courtroom pursuit of heavy metal. III. The Satanic Millennium looks at the influence of neo-Nazism on Satanism in the 1980's; Satanic murder, and the 'Satanic abuse' myth; the bands Deicide and Danzig, and the new waves of Thrash, Death and Black Metal; the European Black Metal murder case; Marilyn Manson, and the new breed of 1990's Satanists; Satanic culture for the new aeon.
