Synopsis

With photographs and artwork from self- described Satanists, this elaborately researched look at the nature of evil sheds light on -- and makes light of -- popular culture's darkest secret. Lucifer Rising includes a history of occult- influenced rock music as well as candid interviews with modern- day Satanists and controversial rock stars who confirm that the dark side is indeed the religion of the rebel.
