Tonight It’s a World We Bury is a radical re-writing of the history and politics of black metal music.
Challenging the commonly-held perception that black metal is a genre of the right — full of wannabe Vikings, Nazis, skinheads and other unsavoury characters — Tonight It’s a World We Bury looks at an array of black metal artists to re-affirm the genre as radically anticapitalist, revolutionary and left-wing.
Utilizing an eclectic range of black metal bands, including Darkthrone, Burzum, Liturgy and Deathspell Omega, and taking in the works of Marx, Nietzsche, Deleuze and more, Tonight It’s a World We Bury is a book on black metal like no other.
Bill Peel has published in Kill Your Stereo and Overland on the topics of black metal, socialism, literature and philosophy. He works at a high school in New South Wales, Australia.

Acid Detroit is an exhilarating, technicolour view of Detroit’s musical and social history from the 1960s to the present day.
Redefining the counterculture as a time of Acid Communism, Acid Detroit diverges from most books on the 1960s, which centre on California, to show that Detroit was an unequalled hotbed of radical activism, urban unrest and sonic innovation.
Covering everything from incendiary garage rock, to European-influenced techno and experimental hip-hop crews, Acid Detroit intertwining the artist’s lives and works with the city’s rise and decline, revealing a history of resilience and transformation hidden in the shadows of the abandoned factories and warehouses of the Motor City.
Joe Molloy is a writer and radio DJ from Detroit. He has a regular radio show on 104.9 WRBB and his writing has appeared in Hot Press Magazine. Acid Detroit is his first book.
