Eternal Flame of Gehenna (2011)

Finnish black metal is characterized by its extreme viewpoints and uncompromising stance. The genre frequently carries strong ideological weight, often involving themes of Satanism, embracing evil, rejecting solidarity, and expressing hatred toward Christian and multicultural society – beliefs deeply held by those involved. *Eternal Flame of Gehenna* explores this phenomenon through interviews with leading figures in the scene, offering a glimpse into a subculture viewed as a threat by Finnish Security Intelligence. The film presents the perspectives of individuals involved in grave desecration and robbery, and captures their reactions to the burning of an old wooden church. *Eternal Flame of Gehenna* also examines the history and present state of Finnish black metal, featuring bands such as Azaghal, Azazel, Barathrum, Beherit, Enochian Crescent, Goatmoon, Horna, and Satanic Warmaster.
