A bunch of friends create an entire music scene.
Not from nothing of course, black metal was influenced by the thrashy 80s but in Norway during the early 90s something came out of the frozen forest - bands like Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem and Darkthrone.
The music is somewhat overlooked due to one of the guys committing suicide and another stabbing his "friend" to death oh and a lot of churches were burnt down.
A misguided section about some art guy who does a show on black metal which includes a gay performance art piece with Frost from Satyricon "I like his look" but I guess like any underground scene the media eventually gets hold of it, the fashion gets adopted and $$$$$ so hopefully these scenes are commentary on those inevitable aspects.
But back to the suicide and murder, let's put this in context, plenty of people commit suicide and dicks kill their friends everyday over disagreements, It's not something particular to black metal music however anti religious sentiment is (anti religion means all religion including satanism) they're anti organised religion, especially those that force their beliefs on others - many of those stave churches were built by Christians over pagan sites dedicated to norse gods.
YES - these guys are artists not satanists
