If we ever thought that Black Metal musicians were chaos only, Adam Nergal Darski shows us that even insanity on the artistic side has it's down-to-earth elements on the personal life of the artist.
From the very first question Nergal's history and experiences captivate us to the point where we can somehow witness the moments as if we were standing next to Behemoth's vocalist. We are thrown into the author's childhood memories and furthermore his rebellious experiences during adolescence. Adam clearly shows us that he is pretty much similar to any of the reader on the human side. Although the book is mainly about his religious views and how Black Metal helped shaping the perspectives on religion, he also mentions that he finds a way to express himself using music and a computer.
I will not write anything else regarding the book. Nevertheless, the book is really overwhelming and not only it helps us readers understand what is inside Nergal's mind but the way it is written and the words carefully chosen provide us a delightful reading time.
