02/28/2019 It’s takes a very fascinating topic but makes it boring See more Dennis M 01/13/2019 Fascinating if for no other reason than to make you aware that such a macabre counterculture exists. See more 11/09/2017 The most boring people in the world perpetrate the most boring albeit gruesome murders ever Norway is so boring. Don’t meet your black metal heroes, kids. See more 10/03/2016 If one has never heard of the norweigan black metal scene in the 80's and 90's, Until the Light Takes Us makes for an interesting musical history lesson. For the rest however, there's actually not that much to recommend. See more 06/29/2016 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 09/28/2015 It does NOT tell the 'story' of black metal. In fact it mostly skips over its birth and growth throughout the 1980s. Regardless, this is more about the 1990s Norway scene and some of the major characters at that point. This particular group lead some sad lives away from the music and that is the focus. There is some history of the metal scene as well, but it did not seem the priority. See more Read all reviews
