Who knew that black metal’s roots dates back to the Vikings. That’s one of the things you’ll learn from this documentary. I love the style of this film. It feels like a mock documentary horror film. This does a good job of shining a light on the dark recesses of music that represent Scandinavian black metal. There aren’t a lot of musical performances in this, but plenty of interview segments. This will really do a great job of giving the viewer an better understanding of the musical scene that is Black Metal.
