Lords of Chaos
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund
In 1987 Oslo, 17-year-old Euronymous becomes fixated on creating "true Norwegian black metal" with his band Mayhem. He mounts shocking publicity stunts to put the band's name on the map, but the lines between show and reality begin to blur.
A teenager's quest to launch Norwegian Black Metal in Oslo in the early 1990s results in a very violent outcome.

This was recommended to me so thank you Shudder for providing it. I enjoyed it though I'm not a huge Norwegian Black Metal fan but was very curious about where they would go with this. They've made this accessible and are obviously aiming it at a very broad audience. In that sense this film achieves its goals. It even includes Sigur Ros and Dead Can Dance on the soundtrack for added dramatic effect. Worth watching by any horror or music fan really.
Even if it’s not accurate for the actual events that happened, I think this movie causes a great deal of awareness to the scene and what roughly happened. People that didn’t know about either band or the church burnings and the deaths of death and euronomous. I think this movie really does depict an emotional reaction out of people with how raw it can be.
its not accurate to what actually happened. but a entertaining movie. definitely blown up for Hollywood. one of the remaining band members even said so himself in an interview that he hates this movie and is going to get revenge on the directors.
JUST SO FUCKING METAL \M/
Good movie not a horror but still bloody amazing Haha see what I did there
