Until the Light Takes Us

Accomplishes a very important goal. It introduces us to a world and a subculture that we have never seen before. In the early 90’s in Norway, the founders of a heavy metal movement called black metal got completely carried away and started burning down churches and killing each other. It’s not so much that it’s a skillfully made doc, it withholds information for too long attempting to create false suspense. But it opens a window to a teeny-tiny part of our world we would never know about otherwise. It’s VH1s "Behind the Music", but distilled, supercharged and atomic-powered.
