Christian Metal is an interesting and necessary look into a musical scene that has been ignored, misunderstood, and misaligned. Kudos to Moberg for undertaking what surely was a daunting task, resulting in a fascinating document about the history and culture of Christian Metal. -- Joseph Kyle The Recoup Author InformationMarcus Moberg is a senior researcher and formerly held the position of Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Researcher in Comparative Religion at Abo Akademi University in Turku, Finland.
