Jack F @MovieFan111 Jul 14, 2026 As I’m getting into the Death and Black metal genres more, this docu provided good insight into these bands/people. Not for the faint hearted for sure but seeing the guys behind the music was cool. Did you know Nic Cage listens to Darkthrone? That’s actually how I discovered this whole rabbit whole on the first place.

For the rest however, there's actually not that much to recommend. See more Jun 29, 2016 Documentary about the black metal scene and its early roots featuring bands like Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Burzum. The story centers around these bands and the influence they had not only on the scene itself but the violence and reputation it created in the early 90's. Darkthrone's Fenriz is the main guy whom the works with along with input from Hellhammer, Varg, and Frost from Satyricon. I found it troubling to see a guy like Fenriz who seems very likable but yet depressed and sad of where black metal has gone in terms of popularity and also the tragedies surrounding his friends "Dead" who took his own life and "Euronymous" who was murdered by "Varg". 9/10 See more Read all reviews
