Upcoming Black Metal and Reatards

Posted by Kelly O on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 3:45 PM

I went and saw the new black metal documentary last night Until the Light Takes Us, and it's pretty god-be-damned good. Though it doesn't really offer up anything new about the history of the scene - the murders, suicide, and church burnings - it does present an interesting point: real Norweigan metallers are getting a little bummed that black metal has become "trend". In too much visual art, and in the millions of people that have, at least once, thrown on some corpse paint just for funsies. Also notable, Harmony Korine makes a must-see cameo as a dancing black metal clown, and I've been weirdly obsessed all day with reading more about just-released from prison Varg Vikernes. Anyway, I highly recommend it. It plays once more on Saturday at Northwest Film Forum.

In other highly recommends, Jay Reatard is coming! The Crocodile! June 15th!

Glad someone reminded me of this and even more glad that I have the day off tomorrow!

Did anyone stick around for the Q & A session? I had to get home so I couldn't, but I'm curious if anything interesting happened.

I really want to have a beer with Fenriz.
