By creating an account, you agree to the Privacy Policy the core creators of Norwegian black metal have been loathe to give much insight into the impetus behind their actions or ideology in the mainstream media in anything but print, and most of that has been twisted.Aaron aites and Audrey ewell have gone to great lengths to treat a history long the subject of hysteria and misrepresentation with the venerability and respect due a subject so weighty. (as Kjetil 'Frost' Haraldstad). (archive footage) (as Per 'Dead' Ohlin), Self - Immortal In this sense, for their time, they were unmistakable and their art was controversial. | Rating: 3/5, April 26, 2010 The filmmakers moved to Norway, living and filming there for two years. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. Now if your a fan of metal, like myself, you've already heard of these church burning and the bands involved. | Rating: 4/5 The Group Entertainment, February 19, 2010 Now onto the bashing. Featuring exclusive interviews and verité with the musicians, a wealth of rare, seldom seen footage from the "Inner Circle"s earliest days, Until the Light Takes Us explores every aspect of the controversial movement that has captured the attention of the world. When Aites and Ewell manage to illuminate the complex relationship between art and action, Until the Light Takes Us can be fascinating and powerful. "until the light takes us" does for the Norse black metal scene what temple's "the filth and the fury" did for early u.k. punk, in that it attempts to retrospectively and yet accurately paint a picture of a so-called extreme music scene ruined by its own strict ideology, media over-exposure, and the inexperience of youth. You shouldn't go to this film expecting that, regardless of what most documentaries have trained you to expect.

Look at Sam Dunn's metal documentary for a better look at the Black Metal scene then this.

Check out our picks for movies that (hopefully) won't keep you up at night. This is the first (and only) film to truly shed light on a movement that has heretofore been shrouded in darkness and rumor and obscured by inaccurate and shallow depictions. This is the movie that gets inside the minds and hearts of black metal's musicians. In interviews with a few of the key players, the film desensationalizes the story without really demystifying it. Please reference “Error Code 2121” when contacting customer service. All in all it's about the extremes some of these musicians went to. those unfamiliar with the history of the scene will get a clear picture of what probably transpired in a violent youth scene notorious for satanism and murder in norway between 1989-1994. for black metal devotees, prepare for a treat - rarely seen footage of early, core bands, interviews with many of the musicians who mattered, and untainted interviews with varg himself.
