Why this pick
An intimate, participant-led account of early Norwegian black metal, with candid interviews and archival material that favor scene texture over a conventional music-documentary arc.

01 / THE STORY
Mayhem is the most notorious group in the annals of black metal. Their nearly 25 years of band history are characterized not only by uncompromising and brutal music, but also by suicide, murder, arson, and many other scandals.
