I cannot get any difference between other releases in the past like "Once upon a time in Norway", "Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground", "Satan Rir Media" and other issues which at in its time spreaded misinformation and other sensationalistic distorted reality about the real people behind the Early Scandinavian Black Metal ( particularly Norway ). Varg Vikernes was been deceived many times by journalists who always changed the sense and the motives he expressed and affirmed about all the Norsk BM whole context. It was not surprising to me if this film committed similar mistakes... I based my doubts reading the simple presentation above. Yellow press ? Serious documentary ? Who knows ? Why don't you show this film once and for all ?????? I abstain and still in skepticism. Thank you. H.

As for spirited discussions -- oh, my, the one here was a most polite (mini) debate when compared to the stuff I see elsewhere online. And here's wishing both of you the best of luck with "Until the Light Takes Us." Thank YOU for taking the trouble to answer my questions so thoroughly and thoughtfully.

As my question to the filmmakers clearly states, I was referring to some of the comments made in UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US -- praise for the murder of a gay man, blaming Christianity for all the world's evils, justification for violent acts -- not to every single Norwegian black metal musician or to the black metal movement per se.

The commentary relating early Norwegian black metal musicians to deranged extremists was rather insincere, and seems to reveal an inferiority complex on part of the writer conducting the interview.
