Wolves Among Sheep
An Interview with Max Ribaric & Davide Maspero
Ondrej Mann
Great people doing great things. If you are interested in the most radical and controversial music, buy a well-written book about NSBM, written by two experts, Max Ribaric and Davide Maspero.
Someone likes dance music because they like to dance, someone likes gothic music because it’s in tune with their soul. In the past, the people of Mayhem wanted to make the most sinister music in the world. That dream didn’t stick, but over the years it evolved into a whole genre of extreme black metal.

Very good book, though a bit repetitive in aspects. Also, you can find this book for around $70 on ebay. No sane person should be selling this for $4k.
I think so, too. I have the English version of the book and the new Italian expanded edition from the authors. This book and Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick Clarke are very good books. Wolves Among Sheep is a very good investment.
Glad (and pretty surprised) to see a lot more coverage of BM on CC. People need to understand that, even if it’s not musically or aesthetically appealing to them and certain elements of it clash with their worldviews, it was one of the last truly European subcultural movements, and likely the only one that has ideology largely compatible with our own as a central pillar of it. I got where I am today through exploring the various viewpoints and concepts black metal, in many cases, dabbled with.
Without any sort of viable “gateway” or youth culture, we can’t expect younger generations to take notice of our ideas and see them in a “cool” light, even if it’s initially as shock value.Much better things that are largely rooted in European tradition, however obscured, than ebonics and xanax. I’m sure there’s more than a handful of the original ’77 punk generation that were led here via Sid Vicious’ swazi shirt.
Thank you for the recognition. I also really like reading about black metal on CC. There is some absolutely unique stuff coming out here. My interview with one of the most famous politically incorrect black metal bands of today will soon be published on this site. Very deep interview.
Great interview with Max and Davide. I met them on the Blood Axis tour in 1998. Max sent me a copy of Wolves Among Sheep many years ago. It’s an impressive tome, even though I can’t read Italian.
Thank you. I first noticed both authors when they published book about Blood Axis. It’s a pity the book is only available in Italian. The other books by both authors are good too. There is a lot of work and study behind it. I personally consider Michael Moynihan one of the greatest living artists today. I would like to interview him for Counter-currents.
