HOTU in the Press:
“We’ve not seen, heard or experienced Madder Mortem quite like this before.
Enter Randy M. Salo’s documentary Howl of the Underdogs, the riveting, entirely open, and yet
honestly tragic story of the Norwegians’ musical, personal, and cultural innards/skin.”
“A deeply honest portrait of a band who always bare their hearts to their
audience.”
“Through breathtaking imagery and engaging interview footage, I felt like I
was reliving the moments as if they were my own.”
9/10
“In 76 exciting, dignified and in some places painful self-delivering
minutes, answers are sought as to where all this darkness in the band comes from – and here not
an inch is left in the statement.”
5/6
“You’ll see [Madder Mortem’s] true image reflected right here in Howl of the
Underdogs…who have stared into the darkness, tamed what lies within and utilised it to make
some of the most sincere, genuine and powerful music out there.”
“It’s hard to imagine another metal vocalist doing what she does”
