Marta Ska i is on a mission to destroy the world. Rebelling against the perfect, picturesque Norwegian fishing town she was born in, she has formed a black metal band of such disturbing depravity she knows they're the perfect weapon to corrupt the masses.

When a record deal is dangled before the band after a particularly offensive gig, Marta has to hold the young, wannabe Satanists in her midst together as they reach for their destiny. Not easy when they consist of her ox-brained best friend drummer, a Viking-obsessed bass guitarist, a sex-addicted lead guitarist, and a barely human singer who could well be the Antichrist.

Yet as the record deal seems within reach, everything falls apart. And so begins a thrilling descent into oblivion as this strange, sordid group corrupt Christians on crosses and battle fascists with dildos, while coming to realise that one of them may be more evil than they realised...

Set in contemporary Norway, Marta chronicles her descent into chaos and murder, fuelled by a toxic cocktail of love, hate and madness. From burning down churches to satanic orgies, Confessions of an Antichrist combines murder, mystery, and music in a fast paced and hair-raising story.

A delightfully twisted crime novel with an unreliable narrator, Confessions of an Antichrist tells the tale of the rise and fall of a Norwegian band of wannabe-Satanists embarking on a mission to burn the world down with black metal.
