Chronicling the later years of black metal, Blackhearts explores a world of those trying to uphold the spirit of a world that has passed them but which they find more relevant than what surrounds them, appearing both chronically lost and less mechanical and oblivious than the world around them.

Yet another week passes as we watch the cope-hope reach maximum intensity through a form of frustrated and impotent rage. The narrative has failed; those who have staked their futures and wasted their pasts on the system find themselves both enraged and possessed of a furor to suppress those who step out of line.

We know that hipsters served as the implement of tearing down metal because once you infiltrate a genre with consciously inauthentic people, it becomes easy to separate aesthetic from its cause, and therefore you make the genre into wallpaper that you can apply to any template, especially the rock/pop variety.
