Chronicles the history, ideology and aesthetic of Norwegian black metal - a musical subculture infamous as much for a series of murders and church arsons as it is for its unique musical and visual aesthetics. This is the first (and only) film to truly shed light on a movement that has heretofore been shrouded in darkness and rumor and obscured by inaccurate and shallow depictions.

Full Plot Details

Chronicles the history, ideology and aesthetic of Norwegian black metal - a musical subculture infamous as much for a series of murders and church arsons as it is for its unique musical and visual aesthetics. This is the first (and only) film to truly shed light on a movement that has heretofore been shrouded in darkness and rumor and obscured by inaccurate and shallow depictions. Featuring exclusive interviews and verité with the musicians, a wealth of rare, seldom seen footage from the "Inner Circle"s earliest days, Until the Light Takes Us explores every aspect of the controversial movement that has captured the attention of the world. This is the movie that gets inside the minds and hearts of black metal's musicians. The filmmakers moved to Norway, living and filming there for two years. The movie is not about them though - it's about the extraordinary people and events that make black metal unique, unforgettable, and inevitable. This is black metal as seen through the eyes of those who created it, of those who live it, of those who are at the center of the story of black metal.

Movie Reviews

Scotsman - 8/10 by Alistair HarknessThis fascinating documentary takes a judicious look at the Church-burning hysteria that emerged from the notorious Norwegian black metal scene in the 1990s.
MTV - 8/10 by Kurt LoderThe world is overstocked with flamboyantly wasted rock The The world is overstocked with flamboyantly wasted rock stars and heavily strapped rappers, but few of them can hold a guttering candle to the ghoul-boy nutters of Norwegian Black Metal.
Oregonian - 8/10 by Stan HallLong on atmosphere and short on context, the film dances around whatever points it wants to make, sticking solely to the players' points of view.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansThis may be the first headbangers' movie that will put hard-rock fans to sleep.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Raoul HernandezViking central's biggest cultural touchstone since the moose, black metal music comes off almost as monstrous.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Nick PinkertonOne artist favorably compares the homemade metal scene to state-supported "mediocre cultural activity"--as good a designation as any for Until the Light Takes Us.
About.com - 6/10 by Jennifer MerinUntil the Light Takes Us tracks the deafening sounds and shocking anti-social behavior of the metal music clan who stand against their country's behavioral norms and cultural traditions.
Film Comment Magazine - 6/10 by Chris ChangA morbidly hypnotic yet generally disorganized affair. To be fair, you could argue that it stays purposefully true to the pervasive murk of its subject.
New York Times - 6/10 by Mike HaleAaron Aites and Audrey Ewell's absorbing, low-key documentary "Until the Light Takes Us" recounts how a few Norwegian musicians hijacked an obscure offshoot of heavy metal and made it world famous.
Globe and Mail - 5/10 by Stephen ColeContains fascinating footage – material from the 1980s that looks to be the work of angry, ancient Norse warriors. There is, however, almost no perspective here. Perhaps the filmmakers succumbed to a condition associated with a city east of Oslo – the Stockholm Syndrome.
