“Are all Black Metal musicians necessarily Satanists? I answer them: in Indonesia, who’s more Satanist, the witchdoctor or Indonesian Black Metal?”

As new addition to its list of programs, THE PIT VOD platform presents ‘East of Hell’, a documentary portraing the black-metal scene in the city of Surabata in Indonesia. 

A chaotic city, an infinite labyrinth of iron and concrete. In this maze of streets, a whole generation of young Indonesians are searching for, rebelling against and rallying around a controversial underground music: Black Metal..

The full documentary is available right now on the platform with a 7-days FREE trial.

Directed by Aluk Todolo’s bass player Matthieu Canaguier, the documentary À L’Est de L’Enfer portrays the black metal scene in the city of Surabaya in Indonesia – a country immersed in a much different culture from the Europe that gave birth to black metal. 

Following the lives of three musicians of this movement, À L’Est de L’Enfer documents the prejudice and marginalization this counterculture is subjected to in Indonesia; but in the end it is the is the definitive proof that black metal is and will forever be an universal language of spiritual freedom and personal catharsis.
