12/28/2016 Not the greatest made doc in the world, but gets the job done. Probably could've covered more of the murderous behavior of more black metal bands. But it's good. Goid tunes too. Gorgoroth isn't even mentioned though. See more 12/23/2011 Black Metal Satanica (Mats Lundberg, 2008) The first thing that hit me about this-it was distributed by Cleopatra Records (at least in the States)? That gave me a couple of WTF? instants, and I wasn't sure how much I was going to get out of it. By the end of the thing, though, I'd seen the best black metal documentary I've come across to date, and I'm still confounded as to what Cleopatra saw in it; there's not an overdressed goth to be found anywhere. The first few minutes are going to give you the same stuff you've seen in every black metal documentary about church burnings and murder and Varg vs. Euronymous and all the stuff that's been covered in every black metal book and documentary you've ever come across. And then the magic happens: this is the first black metal film I've ever seen that progresses beyond 1994. Hell, most of the interviews are with people who were still in diapers when Varg went to prison (large pieces of interview footage with bands like Shining, Mordichrist, and Watain, and of course live footage as well). Because of that, there's a lot more "what's happening in black metal NOW?" than there is in any of the other docos I've seen (this is my fifth or sixth), and that alone shoots this to the top of the heap. However, it's not the only thing that makes it worthwhile; whereas a lot of other movies focus on history and events, and therefore don't really explore what the makers of this music are thinking about or how they came to make it, there's a lot of state-of-mind discussion to be found here (especially from Shining); it's a much deeper look at the psychology of the thing than we've ever gotten before, though this is not to say it's anything close to an exhaustive psychological examination. Still, this one's a must for black metal fans. **** See more 03/03/2011 tämä genre menee jopa mun musiikkimaussa yli.
