Eternal Flame of Gehenna (2011)
Finnish black metal is known for it's extreme views and merciless no-compromise approach. As a music genre, black metal differs from the others by having a strong ideological contest. Satanic values, glorification of evil and unsolidarity, as well as pure hatred towards christian and multicultural society, are more than just childish rebellion for the people involved. Eternal Flame of Gehenna examines the phenomena through interviewing the key figures of the moment. It gives the face to a subculture seen as a threat to common safety by Finnish Security Intelligence. In this movie you find out about thoughts of a grave violator, grave robber and hear what they feel when the old wooden church is burning down. Eternal Flame of Gehenna is also a view on the history and the current state of finnish black metal featuring bands like Azaghal, Azazel, Barathrum, Beherit, Enochian Crescent, Goatmoon, Goatmoon, Horna, Satanic Warmaster etc.

Overrated
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This documentary about the Finnish black metal scene is very well done. A must see for all black metal fans and for others too to see what this genre is about. The characters and bands for this doc were chosen perfectly. I went through many feelings in this doc what i need to rate any movie better than average.Loputon gehennan liekki is a must have and if you don't, search it and buy it.One star i took off only because it was too short in my opinion. The BM scene is bigger and deeper what this doc had to offer but maybe its better to let something open for people to discover it themselves.9/10 for the goat.
