Awesome documentary, I will definitely watch it. Thanks for sharing Daniel
Posted by: Daniel Realpe Dec 31 2009, 02:56 AM
Yeah, it's really well done
I friend of mine showed it to me recently...

I've seen this a few years back, great documentary. 
But he fooled the bands he interviewed in Norway, what they said were taken out of context. I remember reading about it in the newspapers little after it came out 
I think I remember Gorgoroth being the only one not complaining

I think I remember Gorgoroth being the only one not complaining I didn't know Black metal was such a" mainstream" thing in Norway. I laughed when the customs officer on the airport said "Black metal?"

Oh, it's not. But I guess it is far more common here than other places. Pop, hiphop and trance etc is still mainstream

It seems like "non-headbangers" know the music, but I guess it's because of the facts behind it rather than the music itself.
It would funny to live in a place where black metal is the music accepted by everyone and embraced by religious educational institutions and played on the prom parties at schools 
Posted by: Sollesnes Dec 31 2009, 07:12 PM
Yeah, it's the facts they are known for. Burning churches etc.. I was really into black metal when growing up, and I can't even count the amount of times friends parents thought I was a satanist
And yeah, it would be cool! makes you imagine what extreme metal would exist in such a society though xD

I think it would have to be a parallel universe,
and that's the point of that documentary. That rejection, rebellion is what has made metal what it is. Loved the final statement: "We're fine without you"

I've seen this. This guy did a great job with putting it all together. I also agree that Black Sabbath was the major influence to term "Heavy Metal" but many others also constributed in establishing the term.

Daniel you should also check out Sam Dunn's other documentary "Global Metal" it is really good as well
sound isn't great on this clip.

I'm watching the first vid. It has a very similar profile to the other documentary doesn't it? will watch it.
Posted by: rokchik Jan 3 2010, 09:59 PM
Yeah it does have a similar profile, but I love how he showed that even though we all may be different culturally we can come together and bond over something... music.
Posted by: Daniel Realpe Jan 4 2010, 12:06 AM
that's like one of the most beautiful and powerful things about music

I like the way he broke down the different genres of metal. That is pretty hard to do and I like something from most of them. Glam rock was good times.

I know, very in-depth research. Well, he is a metal head, he knows from years
