"Two music-themed documentaries, one (seemingly) all about darkness and the other (actually) all about light, arrive on Hulu nearly together. "Into the Void: Life, Death and Heavy Metal," premiering Monday, is an eight-part film - really eight films arranged around the title theme. "Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery," which premieres Sunday, revisits Sarah McLachlan 's late-'90s all-female traveling music festival."
""Into the Void" is not a history or a survey but looks at individual cases from across the years and the metal spectrum. Most involve tragic circumstances - early death by accident, suicide or from illness in the most extreme cases - though the approach is more sympathetic than sensational; this isn't "Behind the Music" or, for that matter, "Spinal Tap," with its exploding drummers."
Into the Void is an eight-part film that examines individual stories across the metal spectrum, emphasizing human experiences rather than comprehensive history. Many episodes focus on tragic circumstances such as accidental death, suicide or illness, but the approach remains sympathetic rather than sensational. Episodes profile figures like guitar hero Randy Rhoads and a troubled Seattle black metal musician whose life included murder, prison and later tragedy. Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery revisits Sarah McLachlan's late-1990s all-female traveling music festival and highlights community, self-expression and the search for voice amid a world that may not always listen.
