Black Metal Doc UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US at Lamar


UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US
Alamo South Lamar Thursday 11:55pm
Buy Tickets Here


The acclaimed and controversial Black Metal documentary UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US comes to the Alamo South Lamar for one show only this Thursday. Filmmakers Audrey Ewell and Aaron Aites will be there - and have they got stories. This is not a SXSW screening, you must purchase tickets.

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US is a feature length documentary chronicling 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 “Black 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. Featuring: Gylve “Fenriz” Nagell, Varg Vikernes, Jan Axel “Hellhammer” Blomberg, Kjetil “Frost” Haraldstad, Ivar Bjornson, Abbath and Demonaz Doom Occulta, Kris “Garm” Rygg, Bjarne Melgaard, Harmony Korine, and more.

You can get tickets here. And get them fast because they’re selling like porncakes.
