One of the most notorious bands in rock history originates in an attic, in a small locality called Langhus south of Oslo. It doesn't interest almost anyone, but in underground circles, its fierce music is starting to spread.
Mayhem's new Swedish singer, Dead, is taking the band's music in an increasingly gloomy direction. However, the fascination with darkness comes to a tragic and fatal end.
Darkthrone, Thorns, and Burzum each represent their own style on the black metal field. A record store called Helvete will become a meeting place for like-minded people in Oslo, but its atmosphere will become increasingly extreme.
The arson of churches and murders are shaking Norwegian black metal circles, and the genre's bad reputation is spreading around the world. However, the music itself rises from the ashes.
