...if there are any.

This week, the black metal documentary ‘Until The Light Takes Us’ will be showing at the Tower Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Sparks and I are going to catch it tonight, so you can expect a full review later this week.  For more information and tickets (which are about $8) click here.  You can watch the trailer for the movie above and read a synopsis here.

 

Alright, you can file this bit of news under weird.  It would seem that Burzum’s label, which ‘Belus’ will be released, is donating a portion of the proceeds to benefit victims of the Haitian earthquake.  Seriously?  In the same press release announcing the Haitian funds, Burzum's frontman/only man, Vikernes stated the following: “It was the dark, the Dionysiac, and that is a force no man can control. Instead, I pursue the pure and honorable, which includes racial purity for Norwegians, and helping those who suffer misfortunes in life.”   The album ‘Belus’ will be released worldwide on March 8, including Haiti on Byelobog Records.  I guess if any Haitians wanted to listen to “racially pure” music and help themselves, a simple trip to the local earthquake ravished record store will do the trick.

Maybe its the weather but I have been feeling a bit more "kvlt" than usual. Mid-November will mark the limited US release of the black metal documentary "Until The Light Takes Us". Directed by Audrey Ewell and Aaron Aites, the documentary will explore the origins on Norwegian black metal in its sometimes violent, almost always misunderstood glory. The film will be released on November 20th in NYC. For more information see the movie's official website: www.blackmetalmovie.com. the movie will feature music from: Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, Ulver Thorns, Gorgoroth, Enslaved, Boards of Canada, Black Dice, Sunn 0))), Múm, and Lesser.
