Finnish black metal is known for its extreme views and merciless no-compromise approach. As a music genre, black metal differs from the others by having a strong ideological context. Satanic values, glorification of evil and unsolidarity, as well as pure hatred towards christian and multicultural society, are more than just childish rebellion for the peopled involved. Eternal Flame of Gehenna examines the phenomena through interviewing the key figures of the movement. It gives the face to a subculture seen as a threat to common safety by Finnish Security Intelligence. In this movie you find out about the thoughts of a grave violator, grave robber, and hear what they feel when the old wooden church is burning down. Eternal Flame of Gehenna is also a view on the history and the current state of Finnish black metal featuring bands like Azaghal, Azazel, Barathrum, Beherit, Enochian Crescent, Goatmoon, Horna, and Satanic Warmaster.
Also on this DVD is a documentary about the Finnish noise scene called Noise of Finland. Loud distorted noise made with scrap metal and effect pedals is combined with extreme views and shocking visuals. The barriers of human limits and impossibility of commercial success are surpassed with limitless self expresion. Movie includes artists of the genre like Grunt, Bizarre Uproar, Sick Seed, Manic/Depression and Strom.EC.
