The Black Candle Volume III: Sympathy for the Devil

"The third chapter of respected zine The Black Candle sees it grow to a full book. This is an extremely thought-provoking work tackling such topics as black metal, religion, industrial music, occultism, magick, gender, witchcraft, fatherhood, skateboarding, art and, of course, the devil. To some extent music is a side issue here - the author manages to summon extremely interesting and philosophical discourse with each participant."
