Netflix Unleashes Darkness with New Black Metal Documentary
October 2025 –* Netflix dives into the shadows with *Into the Abyss*, a gripping new documentary chronicling the rise and controversy of black metal. Originating in the cold forests of Norway during the late 1980s, black metal became infamous for its raw sound, corpse paint, and anti-mainstream stance — and occasionally, its violent headlines.
Featuring rare interviews with pioneering bands like Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Emperor, *Into the Abyss* explores the genre’s roots in rebellion, paganism, and the occult. The series doesn’t shy away from the darker chapters — including church burnings, internal conflicts, and tragedy — but also reveals the deep artistic and cultural layers beneath the chaos.
Directed by Lars Nygaard, the film includes modern voices keeping black metal alive today.
*Into the Abyss* premieres worldwide on Netflix this November, offering fans a raw, unfiltered look at one of music’s most misunderstood movements.
