It features the genre greats: Fenriz, Count Grishnackh, Hellhammer, Abbath, Demonaz, Garm, Frost, Faust and it was nice to see some archive footage of Dead with his head still intact. Varg’s prison interviews are interesting until he turns into Nazi mode, and his account of the killing of Euronymous seems to highlight how hard it is to lie in another language.
Then some guy called Bjarne Melgaard, an apparent visual artist, comes along and it descends into bullshit territory. I’m a huge fan of the early Burzum and Mayhem records, so don’t think I’m dissing it for the music, I’m not, the film is simply not very good. For a documentary you use your best footage - if this was the best they had I’d hate to see the cutting room floor.
