Synopsis: "People in many cases think that black metal is a mean and satanist way of music making. Others think it's just an unworthy noiesemaking thing which is just a crooked mean to express agression and confronting conduct. The problem is that they don't take a look behind the mask.
"This documentary doesn't want to engage in the deviant behave and doesn't want to be another historical black metal doc. It has some parts from history of black metal and introduces some events of the early '90s, but just as much as it is needed to understand why people look at black metal like a freak of nature. This documentary investigates and shows three important points of this genre.
1. What is black metal? How do the musicians, the fans and the outsiders look at this, and how do they feel the point of it.
2. Black metal as art. How can it be an art and how does the artistic way delineate.
3. Social contexts of black metal. In this point we examine what stereotypes hits black metal and the fans."
