The Cult Never Dies

The Cult Never Dies
Volume One
Author: Dayal Patterson


There it began one mid, hot summer's nightmarish dream. The pages of Dayal Patterson's penned sequel and perception of a secret, Satanic Scandinavian society composing power chords compressed with depressive lyrics and orchestra overlays. In the depths of a Norwegian occult metal scene, sects started deriving as if a scattered and scorned, modern day witch-hunt was underway.  Published archived interviews from Metal Hammer and Terrorizer reborn under Patterson's own publishing company using hemlock for ink having previously used a cyber abyss for a riddled, seamless stream that connected the dots. 'The Cult Never Dies' has a paradox that cannot be compromised,  yet reconciled with interviews from the underbelly of black metal bands and their bowels that death and thrash metal ultimately started shitting out by the early nineties.

He keeps to the main facts and subjects of band formations, such as Satyricon, Manes, Kampfear, Wardruna, and Evilfeast. Black metals grimoire of the Norse's most potent bands along with their cross-counter countries and overbearing European borders.  The race is on, and black metal is giving a good run for fanboy and metalheads money.

On another debate, Satanism is only in the eye of the Satanic beholder. What might appeal as Satanic to some is elementary and juvenile to the utmost Satanic elite. Black metal may be argued to be a mockumentary to the true nature of mankind and their mindful dark angels, saints, demons and beasts. A true witch never reveals their status with magic and spells of sorcery. A Satanist would be wise to follow the footsteps or hoof prints to maintain its solemnly sworn secrecy when coming one with the nature of the beast.

Highlights you may come out with from reading this book are the little inside stories from the bands that stretch from North to South, Poland to Germany. Bethlehem were embraced by American audiences with the help of filmmakers like, Harmony Korine, even though, Gummo edited their tracks out of the final cut version. 18th Century poets and artists had their paws on influencing black metal origins. Depression and drug binges are more than meet the eye in pictures banned from audiences. Never seen before publishings and never heard before projects from earlier works and band breache. A.) This book compels the reader to not even bother looking further and deeper into the black metal rabbit hole or B.) Start backwards from the black metal rabbit hole and work their way back up towards the beginning.
