    Supremely Badass documentary. Grab some beers, turn up the volume, and watch. Comprehensive and informative, you will not be disappointed. Afterwards, bust out your Metal collection and enjoy. As I will, shortly.

    “I’ve come to Norway – an isolated country in northern Europe.” Did that crack anyone else up? Or is it just me …

    Awesome doc, covers a hell of a lot of ground in an hour and a half.

    Also, funny about Norway. “Isolated country in Northern Europe”. According to wikipedia this “isolated country” has the highest human development index in the world. Not bad for a bunch of reindeer herders and headbanging satanists.
