"Dayal's knack for a riveting, conscientious narrative - combined with a lifelong knowledge of the scene and a rare level of trust from all involved - leaves behind the sensationalism and various agendas so many authors and documentary makers have brought to bear on black metal, and treats it instead as the still vibrant and turbulent artform all genuine fans will recognise first and foremost, while still providing revelatory insights for fans both old and new." - Metal Hammer "Anyone who has picked up any UK metal mags over the past few years would recognise Dayal's writing. And anyone who has ran into him at a gig over the past few years will recognise the burden of putting together a phone-book sized history of a metal subgenre that has thrived on half-truths, legend and scandal. Said burden could have--should have turned Dayal all shades of Senator Palpatine, but it looks like it has gone to press just in time." - Decibel Magazine "Offering an unparalleled level of detail, and spanning 600 pages, 'Black Metal: Evolution Of The Cult' captures the progress of one of metal's most dangerous and exciting genres." - Terrorizer, "Dayal's knack for a riveting, conscientious narrative -- combined with a lifelong knowledge of the scene and a rare level of trust from all involved -- leaves behind the sensationalism and various agendas so many authors and documentary makers have brought to bear on black metal, and treats it instead as the still vibrant and turbulent artform all genuine fans will recognise first and foremost, while still providing revelatory insights for fans both old and new." - Metal Hammer "Anyone who has picked up any UK metal mags over the past few years would recognise Dayal's writing. And anyone who has ran into him at a gig over the past few years will recognise the burden of putting together a phone-book sized history of a metal subgenre that has thrived on half-truths, legend and scandal. Said burden could have—should have turned Dayal all shades of Senator Palpatine, but it looks like it has gone to press just in time." - Decibel Magazine "Offering an unparalleled level of detail, and spanning 600 pages, #145;Black Metal: Evolution Of The Cult' captures the progress of one of metal's most dangerous and exciting genres." - Terrorizer "Author Patterson has pulled off the remarkable trick of covering 30 years' worth of extreme heavy metal, from its garage beginnings to the murderous second wave and finally to the disparate chaos of today.To his credit, Patterson doesn't repeat other book's mistakes by focussing solely on the Oslo scene of the early 90s, though those events (murders, church-burnings and grave desecrations) get their own in-depth chapters. His book adds plenty of previously unread interviews with the main culprits, leading to new perspectives on the original shortlist of innovators (Venom, Bathory, Mercyful Fate, Hellhammer) as much as the modern and frankly confusing wave of bands. It's easy to recommend this book: it's the most ambitious work on black metal so far attempted." - Joel McIver, Record Collector Magazine, "Dayal's knack for a riveting, conscientious narrative - combined with a lifelong knowledge of the scene and a rare level of trust from all involved - leaves behind the sensationalism and various agendas so many authors and documentary makers have brought to bear on black metal, and treats it instead as the still vibrant and turbulent artform all genuine fans will recognise first and foremost, while still providing revelatory insights for fans both old and new." -Metal Hammer "Anyone who has picked up any UK metal mags over the past few years would recognise Dayal's writing.

This is no lazy collection of old interviews thrown together in haste. It is a modern masterpiece of the declining art of music journalism. - Vice Magazine It's a fascinating overview of Black Metal written by a seriously otaku expert on the genre. At nearly 500 pages, it's instantly the defining book on Black Metal, even a kind of minor masterpiece of the rock book form, featuring dozens of interviews with the luminaries (would that be the right word?) of the Black Metal scene. I got totally lost in it. - Dangerous Minds, "Dayal's knack for a riveting, conscientious narrative - combined with a lifelong knowledge of the scene and a rare level of trust from all involved - leaves behind the sensationalism and various agendas so many authors and documentary makers have brought to bear on black metal, and treats it instead as the still vibrant and turbulent artform all genuine fans will recognise first and foremost, while still providing revelatory insights for fans both old and new." - Metal Hammer "Anyone who has picked up any UK metal mags over the past few years would recognise Dayal's writing.
