Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

Lucifer Rising

A Book of Sin, Devil Worship and Rock 'n' Roll

by Gavin Baddeley

Gavin Baddeley's popular history of Satanism and its relationship to popular culture, with particular emphasis on rock and heavy metal music. It covers figures and movements from the Hellfire Club and Aleister Crowley to the Church of Satan, the Temple of Set and the Norwegian black metal scene, and includes interviews with participants. Journalistic rather than academic, it is useful for understanding the cultural reception and commercial use of Satanic imagery.
