Description

A documentary about the rise, fall and resurrection of the Black Metal music and culture in the Egyptian cities Alexandria and Caïro. This subculture was related with satanic rituals and blasphemy by the media and the government. For this reason the national security of Egypt organised a real 'witchhunt ' on all the metalfans and musicians. Many youngsters were arrested.
