Murder about a fictitious Black Metal band of the same name.
In the early nineties, with a spate of over 77 church burnings plus reports of murder and suicide, Black Metal was possibly the most feared musical genre on the planet. It’s furious pace and sensory assault, through to its grim and sombre philosophy and ideology, has never left much room for humour. However, being so far flung from reality, the door was wide open for parody and satire.
Set in 1990, Legalize Murder follows Dominic Dalrymple, pop culture journalist (Nick Warden) on a journey through time and space. He stops over for a week with Welsh Black Metal artists, Vic Norseman (Joseph Salerno ) and Jack Norseman (Phillip Adams), to investigate the greatest threat to civilisation as we know it!
The expectation of the production has already been felt online by those who have watched the trailer at the Design Confederacy website. It has been discussed internationally on forums in America , Norway , Sweden and Germany . The Design Confederacy has received e-mails from interested parties across Europe and America .
Legalize Murder was written, produced, and directed by Joseph Salerno and Nicholas Warden of Design Confederacy, and contains original music composed by established metal artists such as Bethlehem, Watchmaker, Tsjuder, Acid King, Black Manta, Nargaroth, Goat’s blood and Angel Eyes . BUY THE FILM

“Legalize Murder was absolutely brilliant. Whether it be Jack's "rituals", "the energies," "the batapult, " or "bringing out firehammer" for the gig, this was a beautiful film. I would say "a black metal spinal tap, but way over 11."
Excellent work, HAIL LEGALIZE MURDER!”
