This episode examines the case of the German black metal band Absurd, whose fixation on shock value spiraled past theatrics and into real, deadly violence. What began as teenage posturing within the underground metal scene spiraled into a senseless, premeditated murder carried out by three boys/bandmates desperate for notoriety. We break down how a subculture steeped in anti-authoritarian performance art became the staging ground for real violence; how a group of teenagers radicalized themselves into believing they were part of something bigger, darker, and more meaningful than they actually were; and how the murder of Sandro Beyer, an innocent 14-year-old boy, became the gruesome centerpiece of their self-created mythology.
