''Murder Music: A History of Black Metal'' is a heavy metal music documentary aired on British pay-per-view channel Rockworld TV. ''Murder Music'' centers around the controversial black metal subgenre. It was written by renowned metal journalist Malcolm Dome and hosted by Rockworld TV's and Contraband Candy's René Ackermann, who was also the documentary's associate producer. The main themes of ''Murder Music'' are: the musical origins of black metal, from Birmingham, UK heavy metal group Black Sabbath to Newcastle extreme metal pioneers Venom; the anti-Christian sentiment of its practitioners; the controversies surrounding the criminal acts (arson and murder) of the early Norwegian scene; and the paradox of a Christian form of black metal, represented by Scandinavian band Frosthardr. Musicians from some key contemporary bands in the scene are interviewed, such as Satyricon, Immortal, Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth. Some non-musicians are interviewed as well, including ''Terrorizer'' magazine editor Jonathan Selzer and Didrik Søderlind, co-author of the ''Lords of Chaos'' book. ==Background== ''Murder Music'' host, René Ackermann, became acquainted with the black metal music scene in the late 1990s. She deepened her knowledge of the subject by reading Gavin Baddeley's ''Lucifer Rising'' and the aforementioned ''Lords of Chaos''. In 2006, Ackermann teamed up with director and co-producer David Kenny to start shooting the documentary. ''Murder Music'' debuted on Friday the 13th, April 2007, on Sky Channel 368 (aka Rockworld TV). A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the documentary, entitled ''Murder Music: Backstage'', was also shown on the same channel, showing unused footage as well as extended and unseen interviews that missed the final cut. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murder Music: A History of Black Metal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
