Once Upon a Time in Norway

The documentary is about a musical movement in Norway. It is called black metal. The account starts in the late eighties. The band Mayhem is at the centre. Its founding and early years are followed. The scene was small and closed off. The people who speak were part of it at the time. Necrobutcher and Manheim are among them. Nocturno Culto speaks as well. The film also deals with the crimes that were committed. Churches were burned in the early nineties, and killings took place in the same period. Euronymous was one of the central figures of that circle, who tried to run a record shop and a label, and the account carries through to his killing. Martin Ledang and Pål Aasdal made the sixty minute documentary, a Norwegian production finished in 2007.
