Until the Light Takes Us Page #2

Synopsis: 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 thos

We called it ''necro-sound,''

you know, ''corpse sound''

because it's supposed to

sound the worst possible.

So actually l ended up

with a headset as a microphone.

That was the worst

we could find.

And used that as a microphone.

So-- And we used

this tiny Marshall amplifier,

it was this big, because that was

the worst amplifier we could find.

lt was terrible sound, it was--

We had, like, an album cover

with our guitarist,

an eerie shot with corpse-paint on it,

and at that time

every death metal album,

every thrash metal album

basically had painted covers,

you know, ''cover art.''

And people hadn't seen,

like, photos.

Well, the underground knew that Mayhem

used corpse-paint and sh*t,

but people in general looking

through the vinyls and CD racks,

they were just like,

''What the hell is this?

A blast from the past?

This is cold!''

The way l perceived Mayhem

was f***ing magic for me.

l'm still listening

to the Deathcrush album.

That's probably

my favorite Mayhem album.

They released Deathcrush

and they just lived

on reputation only in the late '80s.

Mayhem started out

in '84 l guess, around there.

And it was the only Norwegian band,

so it's sort of special for us.

l went to rehearsals and came

like, awestruck back.

They did a show in 1989

which is legendary.

Euronymous invented

the typical Norwegian black metal riff.

lt's sort of derived from Bathory,

but it was a new way of playing a riff

that had really not been done

and not been stylized by anyone before.

That's what Euronymous did.

You have a chord.

You don't play one and one,

you play one and one

up and down

and you have the notes

cling together

so that you have

the f***ing eerie notes

and they all string together

creating this incredible, eerie sound.

lt sends f***ing chills down your spine.

l started in Mayhem in March 1988.

When l first met Euronymous,

l gave him, like,

a demo tape of me playing the drums.

He listened to it maybe five minutes

and he heard it was like double bass

and blast beats in t,here

and it was like

''Yeah, okay. You're in the band.''

The next day l actually

moved to their location

which was, like

30 minutes outside of! Oslo.

l met the other guys.

l met Necrobutcher.

And of course, l met Dead

which was a Swedish guy.

l never had the chance

to see Mayhem with Dead,

but Demonaz did so he can

say something about it.

Yeah. l saw Mayhem in Oslo

with Dead.

And he had make-up.

That was the first show

l saw ever with make-up.

And didn't they

carry Dead in in a coffin?

No, they didn't.

They were supposed to do that.

They were supposed to do that, yeah.

So we were really waiting

for that but it didn't happen.
