Many key players in black metal history, including Emperor, Satyricon, Borknagar, Cradle of Filth and Venom have contributed to the new DVD "This is Black Metal," which comes out October 9.
The package will feature videos for: Celtic Frost's "A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh," Throes of Dawn's "Vertigo," Emperor's "Inno a Satana," Astarte's "Black Mighty Gods," Satyricon's "Fuel," Borknagar's "Future Reminiscence" and Cradle of Filth's "No Time to Cry." There are also interviews with members of Celtic Frost, Venom, Emperor, Morbid Angel and Satyricon.
In addition, "This is Black Metal" contains the short film "Black Metal Parking Lot (The Movie)," which was produced by Jasmin St. Claire and Bobbi Badden. The piece follows the format of the classic 1986 movie "Heavy Metal Parking Lot," which is being released separately on DVD on October 30.
The hysterical 16-minute long cult film was shot in the Capital Centre parking lot in Landover, Maryland before a Judas Priest show and is completely composed of interviews with fans. In addition to offering a flashback to the '80s -- denim, leather, spandex, mullets and all -- the movie provides a sociologically revealing perspective on the era's metal subculture. Also, the DVD includes an extra two hours of content, including outtakes, video sequels from the 2004 Trio TV Series "Parking Lot," commentary by directors Jeff Krulik and John Heyn, and new interviews with cast members from the original movie.
Now, here's a teaser for "This is Black Metal" -- Celtic Frost's "A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh":
