Synopsis

Floating Tomb: Black Metal Theory is a collaborative collection of writings in black metal theory (BMT), an amorphous metallectual movement initiated in 2009 with the symposium Hideous Gnosis. This volume gathers together previously published and new work on BMT focusing on mysticism, a domain of thought and experience with deep connections both to the black metal genre and to theory (as theoria, vision, contemplation). More than a topic for BMT, the mystical is here explored in terms of the continuous intersection between black metal and theory, the floating tomb wherein black metal is elevated into the intellectual and visionary experience that it already is.
