Lords Of Chaos Reveals The Mayhem In Metal Music Culture

Posted by at 2:43 pm on January 18, 2019

A teenager’s quest to launch Norwegian Black Metal in Oslo in the 1980s results in a very violent outcome. Lords of Chaos tells the true story of True Norwegian Black Metal and its most notorious practitioners – a group of young men with a flair for publicity, church-burning and murder: MAYHEM.

The film is adapted from the book Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground. Our own Jacob Hall caught Lords of Chaos at Fantastic Fest last year, and was impressed with what he saw, while commenting on how intense the movie is:

Lords of Chaos may be the most stomach-churning movie ever made about the pitfalls of geek culture. Because make no mistake: these musicians are geeks. Replace their guitars with comic books and Satan with Batman and it all aligns perfectly. This isn’t a movie about music as much as it is a movie about young men being consumed by their hobby to the point where it and nothing else defines them. These guys all exist in a state of arrested development, where the only cure is growing up and realizing that, you know, you probably shouldn’t murder people because it builds a stronger brand.

Lords of Chaos, starring Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen, Sky Ferreira, Jack Kilmer, and Valter Skarsgård, opens in theaters on February 8, 2019 and will be available On Demand February 22, 2019.
