Black Metal: A Documentary (2007)

A straight-to-video exploration of what constitutes 'Black Metal' from the people that play it and the people that live it. Is it a lyrical concept or a musical style? Do the BM bands even know? Does corpse paint make you sticky? You won't find the answers to any of those questions. The film has no structure and no real focus. It feels like it was assembled by a guy in his bedroom from footage he found on the net. You could make your own and you could probably make it better.
What I already knew: Cronos (Venom) is a dick. What I learned: Abbath (Immortal) is funny.
