Gewalt, Mord und brennende Kirchen kennzeichnen die norwegische Black-Metal-Szene der 1990er-Jahre. Im Mittelpunkt des "Chaos" stehen Øystein "Euronymus" Aarseth, Mitgründer der legendären Band Mayhem und selbst ernannter Erfinder des "wahren norwegischen Black Metals" sowie Varg "Greven" Vikernes, ein Bekannter und Bandkollege auf der Suche nach Anerkennung in den Black-Metal-Kreisen. Was als Freundschaft zwischen den beiden jungen Musikern beginnt, endet mit einem blutigen Mord und prägt die Metal-Szene bis heute...

Sie heißen Impaled Rektum und sie spielen "Symphonic-Post-Apocalyptic-Reindeer-Grinding-Christ-Abusing-Extreme-War-Pagan-Fennoscandian-Metal". F**k yeah! Eine völlig unbekannte Heavy Metal Band aus dem tiefsten Norden Finnlands probt seit Jahren, ohne jemals einen einzigen Gig gespielt zu haben. Eines Tages bietet sich ihnen die Chance ihres Lebens und es heisst JETZT ODER NIE! Nach ihrem ersten komplett missglückten Auftritt in ihrem Dorf macht sich die Band um den Sänger Turo auf den Weg zu einem der grössten Metal-Festivals in Norwegen. Die abgedrehte Reise ist gepflastert mit Grabräuber-Aktionen, Wikingern, Irrenhäusern, bewaffneten Konflikten und jeder Menge grossartigem Heavy-Metal.

Viktor Graves, a troubled young man who isolates himself in rural Ohio, survives an attack by a feral man. Soon after, Viktor sees and hears inexplicable terrors surrounding him at every moment, shredding his sanity and leaving him to wonder...what is real and what is madness?

Dokumentation über die Geschichte des norwegischen Black Metal und die aktuelle Szene.

Als sich der Black Metal in den Achtzigerjahren in den skandinavischen Ländern entwickelte und sich dann rasch europaweit etablierte, wurde der Musikrichtung schon bald das Interesse an Satanismus oder gar Nationalismus angelastet. Die Szene machte vereinzelt mit Anschlägen auf Kirchen und andere Musiker auf sich aufmerksam. Die Dokumentation will jenseits von medialen Sensationsberichten mit Vorurteilen aufräumen und zeigt die geschichtliche Entwicklung der Musikrichtung auf, die (oft missverstandenen) Prinzipien der Szene und wofür die Musik eigentlich steht.

Murder, rape, satanism and necrophilia is the staple diet of millions of teenagers who listen to the lyrics of extreme heavy metal music.

This World investigates the potential links between "death metal" and a series of gruesome crimes around the world.

In Italy a group of young death metal fans formed a satanic cult called the Beasts of Satan.

At least four gruesome killings resulted.

But death metal musicians deny that they have any responsibility for the actions of people who profess to be their fans.

With exclusive access to the families, one of the killers and graphic police footage, the film tells the inside story for the first time.

We hear from the musicians, the children and the parents from Oslo to California and ask just how far can music go in its ability to shock, and just how damaging might it be?

Behemoth has raised the bar when it comes to livestream shows. This year, the music industry has been hit hard following the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the entire globe. While concerts are starting to pick up, the life and shows we remember that took place just over six months ago remain uncertain. Bands had to think quickly and reinvent the wheel to connect with their fans. We’ve watched artists perform in their pajamas, bands have streamed a set from their rehearsal space, and others have taken to Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to have live Q&A sessions. Metallica have also stepped up to the table to bring over twenty consecutive weeks of their series. However, Behemoth’s Absentia Dei livestream spectacular took place on September 5th from a secret church location in Poland.

Interviews with central members of early Norwegian black metal bands about Mayhem, the early black metal scene and the crimes they committed.

Shadows of Light verbindet die lauten und leisen Töne des Lebens. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine österreichische Alm, auf der die Sommersonnenwende mit internationalen Künstlern zelebriert wird und Tradition und Zeitgeist kein Widerspruch sind.

In the realm of contemporary music, Adam “Nergal” Darski surely needs no further introduction. Yet the guitarist and singer has even made inroads into general pop culture and shaped social discourse, all the while not moving away an iota from the underground ethos his ongoing career is based on. Rising from his humble beginnings in Cold-war Poland to global fame with his band Behemoth, striving for musical excellence throughout the ignominies of life-threatening illness and dubious legal battles, staying deeply spiritual and focused during even the most casual appearances in mundane limelight, it is safe to say the 1977-born has many faces, the sum of which defies categorization. Satanist or dexterous money spinner? Academically certified historian or shallow media figure? Inspired and inspiring spokesperson of a generation or mere agent provocateur? Make your guesses...

After a career spent mining his music from the shadows, one fan creates a chain reaction for the lead singer of a black metal band.

A 5-part documentary produced by VBS/Vice Magazine focusing on some aspects of the life of black metal vocalist Gaahl, known for his work with Gorgoroth.

Heavy Left-Handed & Candid is Cradle of Filth's second foray into visual entertainment's arena and with it comes a madness the likes of which may preferably never be seen again. A lethal injection of both concert and studio documentation, this DVD is testament to the maxim "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," the veritable life code of one Aleister Crowley, who, in his time, was widely regarded as the most dangerous man in the world. Whether Cradle of Filth even come close to the prestigious title of "the most dangerous band in the world" remains as yet to be seen, but if there's one thing watching this marriage of Heaven, Hell, and the worst bits in between will assure you of, it's the Filth's ability to shock, shake, and deliver where it hurts the most... right on your grave. Open up and say.... "Aaarrrggh!"

The infamous Gorgoroth gig in Krakow, Poland! Gorgoroth, Norwegian black metal band, drew the attention of the international media in early 2004 after their show in Krakow. They were accused of "offending religious feelings" during the gig, as well as suspected of breaching Polish law concerning the protection of animal rights by using severed and impaled heads of sheep as part of their stage design.

Prince of the Crimson Void the ninth film by Denver auteur filmmaker Dakota Ray-is a gothic, Absinthe and drug induced cinematic voyage into evil and decay.

BLACK METAL SATANICA is an in-depth documentary capturing the dark, mystical and evil history of the Black Metal genre. Based on Scandinavian Viking lore, Black Metal borrows from ancient Viking melodies, lyrics and mythology dating back to the 11th century.

The main themes of Murder Music are: the musical origins of black metal, from Birmingham, UK hard rock group Black Sabbath to Newcastle extreme metal pioneers Venom; the anti-Christian sentiment of its practitioners; the controversies surrounding the criminal acts (arson and murder) of the early Norwegian scene; and the paradox of a Christian form of black metal, represented by Scandinavian band Frosthardr. The 64-minute documentary eschews much of the tabloid sensationalism that shrouded the genre in the early to mid-'90s, focusing instead on the music itself, an element thus far overlooked by the mainstream media.
