《生而燃烧：黑金属史》讲述了重金属音乐中最极端、最具颠覆性的流派之一——黑金属——的残酷而阴暗的故事。从80年代初原始粗粝的riff、撒旦意象和地下音乐的狂暴萌芽，到挪威乐坛的黑暗巅峰，再到其在全球范围内多元化的演变，马蒂亚斯·加拉多细致地描绘了每一个狂暴的节拍、每一个扭曲的和弦、每一声嘶吼，正是这些定义了黑金属的起源。

本书取材于对来自世界各地超过100位传奇邪典乐队成员的采访——包括Venom、Bathory、Celtic Frost、Master's Hammer、Profanatica、Blasphemy、Tormentor、Mayhem、Darkthrone、Burzum、Emperor、Cradle of Filth、Dimmu Borgir、Ulver、Watain、Agalloch、Xasthur、Leviathan、Alcest、Misþyrming等等——它既是一部关于艺术与愤怒、美与残暴的编年史。加拉尔多不仅探索了这些乐队的音乐、影响、美学和声音创新，也毫不避讳地揭露了他们的犯罪、混乱、教堂焚烧以及那些震惊世界的行径。

《生而燃烧》（Born for Burning）由丹·利尔克（Dan Lilker，Nuclear Assault乐队成员）作序，诺克图诺·库尔托（Nocturno Culto，Darkthrone乐队成员）作引言，是一部震撼人心、毫不妥协的旅程，带领读者踏上一段关于恐惧、越轨和不屈不挠的激情之旅。对于乐迷、学者，以及任何对地下音乐如何成为传奇感兴趣的人而言，这本书都不可错过——而且它充满激情。

Born for Burning: The History of Black Metal tells the fierce, shadow-drenched story of one of heavy music's most extreme and transgressive movements. From its gestation in the early 80's under raw, primitive riffs, Satanic imagery, and underground ferocity, to its darker peaks in the Norwegian scene and its global, multifaceted evolution, Matías Gallardo maps every blistering beat, every distorted chord, and every howl that defined what became Black Metal.

Drawing on over 100 interviews with legendary cult figures from all over the world - Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Master's Hammer, Profanatica, Blasphemy, Tormentor, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, Emperor, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Ulver, Watain, Agalloch, Xasthur, Leviathan, Alcest, Misþyrming and many more - this is a chronicle of artistry and outrage, of beauty and brutality, Gallardo not only explores the music, the influences and the aesthetics, and the sonic innovations, but also does not shy away from the crime, the chaos, the church burnings, and the acts that shocked the world.

With a prologue by Dan Lilker (Nuclear Assault), and an introduction by Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone), Born for Burning is a powerful, unflinching journey through terror, transgression, and uncompromising passion. For fans, scholars, or anyone curious about how the underground became myth, this book is essential - and it burns.
