The forthcoming Kurt Cobain Montage Of Heck documentary film is set to include previously unheard music from the Nirvana icon. 

Named after his incredibly anarchic mixtape, the Brett Morgan directed film has been allowed access to never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, photograph, journals, demos, personal archives and songbooks. 

Now a press release from HBO has stated that "previously unheard originals" will also feature in the film. While it was a given that Nirvana performances would be included, this is no doubt the extra detail that will pull in rock fans. 

According to the press release Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck is set to air 4 May. Save the date, grunge fans.

After previously revealing the project will premiere next year on the US' HBO channel, director Brett Morgen announced on Twitter that the film will also be shown in cinemas in the UK via Universal. Cobain's daughter, Frances Bean, has given her blessing on the film and is acting as an executive producer on the project.

In a press release, Morgen revealed that the film had been in the works for nearly ten years: "I started work on this project eight years ago. Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth."

He added: "However, once I stepped into Kurt's archive, I discovered over 200 hours of unreleased music and audio, a vast array of art projects (oil paintings, sculptures), countless hours of never-before-seen home movies, and over 4,000 pages of writings that together help paint an intimate portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself to the media."
