Netflix Unleashes “Pure Extreme Metals” — A Brutal Dive into the Darkest Corners of Metal Music

 

LOS ANGELES —Netflix has dropped a thunderous new music documentary, *“Pure Extreme Metals,”* an unflinching look into the underground world of death metal, black metal, and beyond.

 

 

 

Featuring rare tour footage, interviews with genre pioneers, and behind-the-scenes access to controversial bands, the film explores how a movement born in rebellion became a global force of sound, culture, and identity.

 

 

 

Directed by *Johan Elstad*, a veteran of heavy music journalism, the documentary doesn’t shy away from the genre’s darkest chapters — including church burnings, censorship battles, and the psychological toll of extreme performance.
