[quote="GameFreac"][quote="Moloc"][quote="GameFreac"]I thought it was pretty good but there was nothing really new that I haven't seen in other documentaries or read before.

D/led a Mum album because the opening intro/outro song ruled though so now I'm a fan.[/quote]

What other documentaries would you recommend?[/quote]

I've seen a few on Youtube but I can't remember what they were called off the top of my head. If I remember any, I'll post em.

Have you tried Once Upon a Time in Norway? I remember liking it, but I don't recall why. I do know that it features people you don't see much in metal docs -- like Manheim & Messiah from Mayhem and the dude from Cadaver. It's pretty low key (I guess they all are), and the doc makers seem to stay completely out of the way; thus you don't get that increasingly familiar feeling of being hijacked, a la UtLTU.

Necrobutcher is a big presence in it. Happily he seems to have been caught immediately upon waking, so the cringes are kept to a minimum.

NP dude. Yeah they reminded me of Telefon Tel Aviv a little...I always thought they were post-rock because I've heard of em but I think they're like post-rock/ambient/electronic/glitch. I don't know if you can really put them into 1 genre.

I think that the original footage in UTLTU was shot in about 2004 (give or a take a year) and it took several more years to be completed and released. If I'm correct about that, the film was conceived and shot quite a while before the stories in it were common knowledge to those of into this shit and before BM was hip or at all a part of the mainstream. So maybe the film tells what is now a hackneyed story, but when the directors started work on it, it wasn't.

True...I'm not saying it was bad...just nothing really stood out as different from any others to me. I know Varg was a huge part of all that shit back then but I'm getting kind of tired of him being the focus of every documentary/book.

Peaceville released a Darkthrone demos box about four or five years ago that had a dvd in it of Fenriz and Ted talking about the whole first/sec wave thing and all it entails. It's just Fenriz and Ted sitting outside their studio, in the freezing cold, smoking cigarettes and drinking Rignes tallboys and talking. And it's great. Fuck all this light takes us bullpussy.

I think that same video was split up and individual sections appeared on the appropriate reissues of the first three black metal albums. No?

Yeah, which was it, Frostland Tapes, maybe?

I love interviews with those dudes, they just always amuse me.

I'm still trying to remember where I saw the interview with Fenriz where he's giving the guided tour of his music collection that's so massive that his kitchen drawers are filled with tapes.

Varg is the center of everything just because dude is a great interview. He's funny and charming in spite of being a sociopathic nutjob who retrospectively philosophizes his crazy actions.

Right as rain. And it's a little like watching a unicorn on tape. I mean, it's fucking Varg Vikernes. He made THOSE records. That's HIS voice. He BURNED churches. Big, Beautiful Churches. He KILLED Euronymous. He has written his own "KAMPF." It's fucking crazy. It's real. No wonder people want to interview him.

I understand that and it's understandable but it's just getting old...same shit in every documentary. I like the ones where I hear the other stuff that was going on and when they interview other people.
