We Turn In The Night Consumed By Fire
In the early 1990s, members of an extremist black metal cult in Norway burned down churches and desecrated graveyards: what had initially began as a teenage frenzy had now become a dangerous and violent subculture. In this book photographer Peter Beste captures the unusual and disturbing imagery associated with Norwegian black metal.
Featuring a collection of essays, this work delves into the intersection of punk, style, and pop culture through the lens of Johan Kugelberg's extensive experience with underground movements.

His contributions to notable publications have established him as a key voice in the exploration of music and style, making this collection a compelling read for fans of cultural commentary.

Erst in den frühen 80er-Jahren entdeckte die Musikindustrie Hip Hop für sich und überführte die Underground-Subkultur in den Mainstream. Die Wurzeln des Hip Hop liegen jedoch in der Bronx der 70er-Jahre. Dort entstand ein impulsiver und progressiver Musikstil, der zuerst nur live performt wurde – jenseits von Kommerz und Studios. In Born in the Bronx versammelt Johan Kugelberg eindrucksvolle Bilder des Fotografen Joe Conzo, des 'Mannes, der die Geburt des Hip Hop fotografierte' (New York Times). Darüber hinaus gibt es Original-Flyer-Artworks der Zeit zu bestaunen. Persönliche Beiträge von den Großen der Szene wie Grandmaster Caz, la Sunshine, jdl, Mare 139 und Grandwizzard Theodore sowie ein Vorwort von keinem geringerem als dem Bronx-Aktivisten Afrika Bambaataa, dem Schöpfer der Zulu Nation, geben exklusive und persönliche Einblicke. Eine ausführliche Zeitleiste von Jeff Chang markiert die Eckpunkte einer explosiven, experimentellen und wegweisenden Zeit!
