Darkness Over Cumbria - UK Black Metal Documentary 2023

A traditional documentary about amazing people, their music and very unique place in North of England. Paul Gibson and Barry Houghton will take you to the woods of Cumbria to share their stories and to show you one of the best Black Metal festivals in UK.

It features many great UKBM bands, interviews, live performances, and contains footages of attendees along with snippets of the beautiful surroundings.

This film is about evolution of Black Metal in UK presented from point of view of Paul, a black metal fan, musician, producer, director of a festival, but also about magical and inspiring world of Barry, owner of Fell Foot Wood, a baptist, a writer and an artist.

This document has been created by international musical/visual project SZUM , lead by a Polish marriage Conrad and Justyna. Only raw footage recorded during the festival has been used in production (video and audio).

Thank you everyone who helped us and sorry we could not include everyone we spoke to. Please remember - It's only a small piece of UKBM. There's so much more to show.
