Until the Light Takes Us is a documentary about black metal: an ideological movement/music genre comprised of musicians, murderers, church-burners, and suicide victims. The film examines the birth and explosive arc of black metal through the eyes of the scene’s leaders, who tried to change the world using music and symbolic acts of violence. Part post-modern art movement, part terrorist movement, and part rock scene, the film tells a story unlike any other.

Oops, this is on Saturday, August 1st

i'm considering going, but i don't know if i want to spend my Saturday watching a biased documentary surrounded by hipsters.

Everything's biased. Filmmakers seem sane to me:

http://www.anus.com/metal/about/interviews/until_the_light_takes_us/

Very much anticipating this.

It's true. EVERYTHING'S biased. I still wanna see this... Yeti, you really thinking about going? Maybe we could make a group trip outta it.

after reading the interview i'm more interested in going, i don't want to see a recap of Lords of Chaos, and that doesn't seem like what it is. i hope its as objective as its made out to be, i know everything is biased, i just mean whether its slanderous to Varg or something. i'll most likely attend.

Apparently it provides Varg more with a platform to speak his mind, allowing him to explain his version of the events. Lords of Chaos was a crock of shit.

I might go see this for a second time. Don't worry about bias, it's just a cool doc.

It should be interesting to hear what he has to say, after all these years. People can say what they want about him, but the fact remains that he was but one young man who forged an entirely new sound in a burgeoning genre. Musically, Vikernes was a leader and not a follower.

I just ate lots of food and it made me tired.

did anyone go to this?

I did, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was awesome to see the marjority people wearing band shirts consisted of Mayhem, Burzum and Darkthrone. I, myself, was wearing a Filosofem shirt.

how does it compare to Lords of Chaos?

Lords of Chaos is a joke to me, so I'd obviously say this was better. I'm looking forward to the dvd of UtLTU, which will contain a lot of the cut footage they couldn't use in the theatrical release. There's a lot of interviews they conducted, which weren't included.

Anyone else notice that the beer at the Brattle has a slight popcorn butter flavor? Kinda wretched at first, but it started growing on me towards the end of the movie.

any devildrivah shirts, khed?

Nah, I wanted to appear tr00, so I left mine at home.

I also forgot the Brattle serves beer, but I'm glad I watched it sober anyway.

i'll just wait for the DVD. i contemplated going but decided i didn't want to get up from lounging on a dock and getting loaded.

LMAO
I think lords of chaos it's good enough to get you started if you're not familiar with the history/world/life behind black metal music.
Can't wait to see this movie. Too bad they only played it one time only
