Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents—they're God's entourage.

Așa ar fi sunat titlul vreunui ziar local din America anilor 1960 după ce Hell’s Angels ar fi dat năvală în oraș, doar ca să se distreze în stilul lor caracteristic: motoare, raiduri, femei, droguri și bere. Mituri, exagerări sau adevăruri îngrozitoare? Prejudecăți sau fapte dovedite? Ziariștii îi adorau pentru că le ofereau subiecte de scandal, iar publicul era fascinat de aerul lor amenințător și, într-un fel, misterios de răzvrătiți și antieroi neînțeleși.

Without an understanding and appreciation of the culture we seek to preserve and protect, the defense of Western civilization is fundamentally futile; a culture that believes in nothing cannot defend itself, because it has nothing to defend. In this profound and wide-ranging historical survey, Michael Walsh illuminates the ways that the narrative and visual arts both reflect and affect the course of political history, outlining the way forward by arguing for the restoration of the heroic narrative that forms the basis of all Western cultural and religious traditions.

Ehemals Musik junger Abgehängter und Outlaws, ist Heavy Metal heute mehr und mehr in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen: Wohl mehr als 10 Millionen Deutsche hören Heavy Metal. Aber warum tun sie das? Was suchen und was finden sie in dieser Musik, die von Außenstehenden oft als purer Lärm empfunden wird? Warum wimmelt es im Heavy Metal nur so von Monstern und Teufeln - und wieso schweigen auch die Götter und die Engel nicht?
