Background
Murder Music host René Ackermann became acquainted with the black metal music scene in the late 1990s. She deepened her knowledge of the subject by reading Gavin Baddeley's Lucifer Rising and the aforementioned Lords of Chaos. In 2006, Ackermann teamed up with director and co-producer David Kenny to start shooting the documentary.
Murder Music debuted on Friday the 13th, April 2007, on Sky Channel 368 (aka Rockworld TV). A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the documentary, entitled Murder Music: Backstage, was also shown on the same channel, showing unused footage as well as extended and unseen interviews that missed the final cut.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
