A documentary that takes place in the heart of Norway’s great black metal scene.
It is world-renowned, male-dominated, macabre, and the perfect breeding ground for witches to come to life again.
This is the story about three ordinary young women - Nikoline, Victoria and Johanna - who make a three-year action to transform themselves into a real black metal band. They call themselves “Witch Club Satan” and want to use their music to express women’s raw, hidden powers. Without knowing how to play a single instrument beforehand. To succeed in this, they seek the power they gain from witches.

I ArvenUNG møter vi ungdommer som har valgt noen helt spesielle yrkesretninger.
Filigransølvsmeden, geitbåtbyggeren, smeden, repslageren og parykkmakeren.
Hvordan lages egentlig en sølje fra grunnen av? Og hva gjør det med deg når hendene er dine viktigste redskaper i en verden som snart utelukkende er digital?
Gjennom bruk av spatial lyd og gamification skal vi nå unge på digitale plattformer, både i DKS og i bred distribusjon hos nasjonal kringkaster. Dette er andre sesong av Arven, som vises på NRK.
