until the light takes us.

At 6pm yesterday me and the guys headed to Chapter Arts to see this black metal documentry titled 'Until the Light Takes Us'. It's a documentry about the story of black metal and it's rise during the early to mid nineties. Following and interviewing members of the bands Dark Throne, Mayhem and Burzum and outlining the string of suicides, murders and church burnings that took place during the rise of black metal, and discusses how these events and stories have shaped and redefined what "heavy metal" and "black metal" is considered to stand for today.

'Until The Light Takes Us' manages to look at all of these main focus' without condemnation. Examining the misunderstood principles and beliefs that led to this huge rebellion against the crux of modern culture and Christianity. This is a must see documentry, no matter what you're stance on black metal. It's truely eye-opening and completely shocking in some areas. I'm not entirely sure if you can stream it online or if you'll have to find your local 'independant cinema' centre but definitely try get your mits on it.

There isn't a great deal to say about it. It's a documentry the answers are there for themselves. I'll leave you with the trailer and hope that it entices you to go watch this film.
