In the last two decades, a bizarre and violent musical subculture
called "Black Metal" has emerged in Norway. Its roots stem from a
heady blend of horror movies, heavy metal music, Satanism,
Paganism, and adolescent angst. In the early-mid 1990s, members of
this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval
wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as
juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against
Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods,
and the complete rejection of mainstream society.

The first book of essays by a long-time renowned chronicler of
underground culture. Johan Kugelberg's book on the early history of
hip hop won the NYPL books for the teen age award 2008 and his book
on the Velvet Underground won the Foreword silver medal for music
2010. The way this book mashes up lo-bro and hi-bro is readable,
funny and thought-provoking, and also downright provoking. Johan
Kugelberg's essays on punk, style and pop culture have entertained
readers of international publications including Dazed and Confused,
Another Man, Ugly Things, Perfect Sound Forever, Spin, Raygun and
Fact over the last couple of decades.

The Sex Pistols have defined the look, sound, and feel of the punk
movement since they formed in London in 1975. Together for less
than three years a short run that included just four singles and
one studio album before they broke up in 1978 their impact on the
musical and cultural landscape of the last forty years is nothing
short of remarkable. The Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones,
Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock (later to be replaced by Sid Vicious)
were brought together by the cultural impresario Malcolm McLaren.
Between the cultivated attitude of the players themselves, the
aggressive management of McLaren, and the tremendous success of
their era-defining album Never Mind the Bollocks Here s the Sex
Pistols, the band embodied the punk spirit and coloured the worlds
of music, fashion, youth culture, and design forever. Published to
coincide with the fortieth anniversary of the band s formation,
Johan Kugelberg and Jon Savage draw on an unprecedented wealth of
mate- rial from McLaren s handwritten letters to never- before-seen
photographs of the band, Jamie Reid s iconic album artwork, and a
range of ephemera from concert tickets to fanzines to produce the
most comprehensive visual history of the band ever produced and a
bible of popular culture for years to come.
