Too Heavy To Hug #717

Welcome to THTH, Forte’s premier source of all things heavy, hard, fast and metal.

If you love metal and love satire then it’s definitely worth keeping your eyes peeled for the upcoming satirical black metal horror short film entitled Brutal Realty, Inc. which screened as a part of the Chicago And Brooklyn Film Festival.

The increase in the number of films about black metal, satirical or not, is great to see and whilst to the outsider black metal may appear as a joke, to insiders the jokes about black metal, or any metal sub-genre for that matter, just add to the rich tapestry of the wider metal community.

With the recent release of Lords Of Chaos covering the birth of true black metal, there are so many more opportunities for further films on the subject.

Also, with the way Hollywood is going it’ll be no time at all until there’s a cinematic biopic release about the start of Black Sabbath much like the Elton John movie and the Freddie Mercury one prior, however for shits and giggles I’d much prefer a cinematic biopic about Dani Filth, or Philip Anselmo or even Tom Araya.

Fingers crossed.
