Watched this earlier tonight and it was awesome. For those who don't know, I totally love documentaries about weird subcultures, and Black Metal is a particular favorite subject of these for me. This one is actually pretty interesting, beyond the "WTF" factor and paints a pretty complex picture of its subject. Also, Gaahl's hometown, if you can even call it a town, is amazingly beautiful. Talk about secluded.
Wikipedia link for Espedal, Norway.
Apparently the place is named for his family and they're the only ones who live there..
Google Maps link. Basically looks like it's in the middle of nowhere.
The Wikipedia entry on Gaahl is fascinating. Apparently he's gay and recently out, as well as a vegetarian. Those seem like Black Metal firsts. Ha.
