It was quite interesting, a little dull in spots (and somewhat frustrating occasionally when there'd be subtitles that were hard to read against the background picture) but overall I enjoyed it. I don't think it made me appreciate or understand Black Metal much but it's definitely intriguing, in a "What the f*ck is wrong with these people?" sort of way.
That guy Count Grishnakh is a piece of work. He's apparently become Norway's version of Charles Manson nowadays, i.e. a big celebrity murderer/criminal with a cult following. He sez the church burnings were meant to bring Norway back to its Viking origins by eliminating Christianity from the country altogether. Um.... okay.
Fenriz appears to be a cool guy who wishes that Black Metal had just stayed underground, stuck to its core audience, and remained just about the music, which was the way it started out, before all the silliness turned it into a "trend." I can sorta relate to that. It reminded me of me around 1992 when Metallica had become the biggest band in the world and all of their old underground fans from the KILL'EM ALL days were bummed about them 'selling out.'
I saw the movie on the Sundance Channel by the way, if anybody's interested in checking it out. I'm sure they'll run it again.
I saw previews for this and want to see it!! Sundance channel you say?? Will have to see when it's gonna be shown again and fire up My DVR!!!
