Until The Light Takes US

This should have been posted weeks ago but we are a lazy bunch. Until The Light Takes Us is a new documentary which tells the story of black metal; part music scene and part cultural uprising. We got sent the DVD last week and all watched it together, you really have to watch it to believe what went on and why it went on. Black metal rose to worldwide notoriety in the mid-nineties when a rash of suicides, murders and church burnings accompanied the explosive artistic growth and output of a music scene that would forever redefine what heavy metal is and what it stands for. UTLTU examines the complex and largely misunderstood principles and beliefs that led to this rebellion against Christianity and modern culture.

Directors Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell moved to Norway and lived with musicians for several years, building relationships that allowed them to create a surprisingly intimate portrait of this violent, but ultimately misunderstood movement.

The result of there effort is clear and evident through out the film, UTLTU is a moving story about a music scene that blazed a path of murder and arson across the northern sky.
