I loved the movie as a movie. If that makes sense. As it said in the beginning "Based on truth, lies and what actually happened" (but on who's point of view?) Maybe none of it is factual, but who's to honestly say? Did Varg kill Euronymous in self defense? No one can actually say. Euronymous can't share his part of the story. Of course we can expect a man convicted of murder to say that it was self defense. People talk, say things they don't mean out of anger or jealousy, maybe Euronymous actually planned to murder Varg, or maybe it was just talk- As Vargs' character in the movie said "everyone took action except for you"- maybe he finally planned to take action. But, in all honesty, who the hell cares? This all happened years ago. Varg did his time, Euronymous is fucking dead. Bitching about a movie based on the lives of people that none of us we're literally even a part of is idiotic and isn't going to unmake the movie. Let's just sit back, shut the fuck up and allow people to enjoy things. It's a fun movie. Liking this movie doesn't make any of us any less of Mayhem or Burzum fans.
The only people who don't know (and, frankly, won't care) are Hollywood themselves. They see something interesting and they'll jump on it with little to no regard for research. That said, fuck "Lords of Chaos" and all of those involved in slandering black metal music/history.
i dont know about that. euronomous made it famous because he marketed it. he was fully pro-publicity, and it spread like wildfire. but sure, they dont get the spirit of it.
As a Metalhead and a Cinephile, seeing a bunch of KVTL Black Metal fans freak out about this movie on this comment section does tickle my fancy. Also, love that Val Kilmer's son is probably the only person (other than Jonas) in this interview that is a metalhead.
@Mr. Kvlt I didn't get my info from the movie because I never watched it, it's sad that you defended someone who did what he did, I don't agree with Islam but i would never think that burning down mosques would be justified.
Mr. Kvlt wouldn’t it be more logical to have an open dialogue with the people you despise under the pretense of it more productive than destroying property. Basically Take an Martin Luther king approach
I think Åkerlund is a good guy but could had made this movie so much better. They should had used all Norwegian cast and take the Hollywood crap out of the equation - like a documentary but in a concept of an acted film. Black metal was, and still is, about rebelling against this kind of polished mainstream shit - so taking Hollywood and these pretty actors to make the film is just wrong.
I read an interview in Rolling stone in which Jonas said that the band had been ok with the making of the film and their music featuring in it as well. Personally I'd like to see it because Jonas is such an amazing director. I have been a fan of his work since 98´
Not really so ok... what about Pelle's suicide scene? Is that alright to make cash on the sight that his friends and family hate? It would be seen as rude if they scold anyone for making that scene directly... But you can see this confusion on their faces.
Everyone keeps saying that there is no Mayhem or true black metal music in this but the director put the soundtrack listing on Instagram on one of the accounts for this movie and there are quite a few mayhem songs in the film
The makers of "Lords of Chaos" are liars. Darkthrone, Burzum, & Mayhem disapproved of the both the book and movie so much that they refused to have their music featured. So don't even waste your time watching this Hollywood mistreatment of black metal music/history.
I think it's good that he's deflating all this overhyped macho elitist mentality that a lot of people in the black metal scene have, which pretty much started with Mayhem back in late 80's/early 90's. I'm a fan of the music but when middle aged dudes look up to a bunch of 17 - 18 year olds and try to act like they did 25 years ago.
I like Jonas Åkerlund. He makes good videos and is a METAL GUY. He hanged out with some of these guys and was a drummer in Bathory. I think everybody is way to sensitive. It may just be an entertaining movie just showing us what it says on wikipedia happened? Nothing weird. What's the harm in that? But it is a major downfall that no real music can be played.
WHY it happened is way more important than what happened... They claim to portray history, for which they did not respect the opinions of anyone majorly involved, but claiming upfront to do so. Mayhem told this sellout dude to go %=¤# himself, and that they would fight it with all their might. But I guess "sensitive" history is not that important! ;]
@ maybe because bathory never claimed to invented black metal, they didn't care, that's why some people called bathory a ''proto black metal'' band, because they never intended to make ''a new sound'', a lot of people can say that hellhammer, even sodom in obsessed by cruelty had a black metal sound, but they didn't do black metal and they never invented. Besides Åkerlund was bathory's drummer just for 2 years
*Euronymous falls to the floor after being stabbed multiple times times by Vag... um...Varg. Goofy feel good happy go lucky American voice over comes in* "Hi I'm Euronymous. You're probably wondering how I got here. Well let me tell ya"
how the fuck do you know lol? he has a band himself (not metal, but garage rock) and i really don't see any reason, why he wouldn't listen to black metal.
"A story based on a true story". BASED ON a true story, not actually a true story. I mean, there's a female character, but not a single female of any significance in the entire scene.
1:55 "These kids actually invented this type of music" Yeah, let's forget all the other black metal bands that formed/existed way before the Norwegian black metal scene took off!
Its a part of black metal history now, so whenever any kid looks up mayhem at the bottom of wiki will be the link the the lords of chaos film, too bad their wont be any of the music that inspired these guys actually IN the film but meh.
The big point is the book and the movie have no true facts about the characters they are portraying. It is just an outright Character assassination of the people they are portraying. Do not waste your time on this film or the book. Jonas does not need to mention he was in Bathory he was just in it in 1983 and 1984 like he made a huge contribution to black metal, he just need to stick to directing Madonna and Taylor Swift videos lol.
@@oneinfinity you assume wrong. Venom, Hellhammer and Celtic Frost all had as much of an impact on black metal as Bathory. You can't say it was just Bathory who helped invent it. Also, they were proto-BM. Actual BM started with Euronymous developing the tremolo picked riffing.
Hollywood trash it's pretty bad when you don't get band members to sign off on music or to be part of the movie also to the producers if your going to make a movie like this get the facts straight as well as do your research about the scene at that time and an understanding of the music and culture.
so she's staying in character for an interview? even ddl would find that gratuitous. and that look she gave jack is something else....oh well sky knows she slays hence maybe not feeling the need to say anything
How would you like it if someone wrote a book or made a film with you being completely inaccurately portrayed to the point of making you look like an airhead moron ? Would you or your friends be considered “bitter” because you or they weren’t supportive of the fact that someone made you out to be a joke? I don’t get it
If they actually did some research into this story and the Black Metal scene, they must have just ignored everything they found and made up a story instead. Because everything in this film is just plain wrong
The title alone doesn’t make sense considering the kids who called themselves “the Lords of Chaos” were a totally separate group of kids in Florida who started committing arson 3 years after the Norwegian bm scene did their heathen deeds
Lords of Chaos is total crap and full of inaccuracies stemming from media hype, that's why no one actually involved in the events depicted wanted to be interviewed or have anything to do with the book. Most have condemned the book as total bullshit. It's all third-person accounts and falsehoods.
It seems that the film is such a flop that it hasn't even been released online. I couldn't find it on any free website such as Putlocker, Megavideo, watch2free, m4ufree, 123movies, etc..
flaming douchebag that's probably because it hasn't been released yet lmao....there's a difference between a screening and a flim actually getting distribution, you know, the thing that actually covers the cost of putting the film on the various different viewing formats that leads to things like leaks where the websites you mentioned come into play....
That's what I just said: "...it hasn't even been released yet". Its initial release date was January 28, so it's been nearly 2 months already and still no sign of it anywhere online. Usually with other films it doesn't take that long to make it to distribution.
Initial release dates aren't official release dates, there's a difference, and actually, it's quite a common scenario. Many big motion pictures get pushed back every single year, and these are big company pictures with big company distribution, an indie film can have an initial release date, miss it mulitple times, and yet still be successful. Plus, the release date your referring to is the screening release date, which usually inevitably becomes many release dates. I don't know what to make of this movie, I'm not against any story being told as long as it's done the right way, so I'll save my judgement for when I see it, but the hype for this movie is real, alot of people wanna see it, and it'll get it's day. Especially with the likes of Rolling Stone backing it. I may hate RS, but denying the enormity of that name is foolish. I'd be willing to bet, if there is any hesitance on a distributor picking it up, it has more to do with the reflection of black metal towards the rest of the world than it is toward the actual quality of the film and how it was made. If a film like "Tusk" can eventually find distro, this film will too. Besides, most all of the indies that premiere at Sundance yearly don't hit the webs till much later, and it's due to the same reasons more or less as this film...finding the right distributor. Case in point: "Christine" which was about Christine Chubbuck. Was almost a whole year since the screening of the film at Sundance before the film actualy secured itself a distributor and a release date. Same happened with "It Follows" and that film wound up getting a theatrical release due to critical and auidence praise. Suffice to say, it's a little early to assume it's because it's a shitty movie. This happens more often that you think. Alot more often.
Also, we both know a film can't technically flop until it's made available to purchase access to screening either via on demand or streaming services, or theatrically, and that requires distribution, yes, but can't say a film has flopped until that happens. Also, if we're getting down to the little reaction we do know about, almost everyone is praising this movie except for a bunch of metal heads who haven't seen it yet. Critics and auidence attendees may not be the most educated on the history of black metal, so people like us could very well see a different flick than they do (again, I won't judge till I see), but overall the reception has been quite good for it, so I'm sure we'll see this movie this year as well as the bold truth on if it's any good or not.

...Black Metal is Anti-Fashion... Anti-Mainstream... So how the fuck is this relatable in society which most listeners listen to Rap Pop Shitty music!?
I keep seeing a lot of “Hollywood” being blamed for people’s (who most I’m sure haven’t seen it) distaste in the film. Do they not understand this is an INDEPENDENT film? That means it was made with out studio interference. This is an interpretation of genre defining events told by someone who was in the black metal scene during the time of it’s upbringing. I’m sorry but even the real life people this film is based on are naturally going to be the most biased on the quality and authenticity of the film.
MrNERD4 I’m not sure you could go so far as to say he was there for the advent and rise of black metal. He played drums for Quorthon for a blink of an eye then was scrapped before they recorded the first album. No ones blaming Hollywood, they’re blaming slimy Jonas for capitalizing on these guys’ story (that Jonas was most definitely not there for)
Jonas Åkerlund is a great producer and was the drummer in Bathory, but this movie was a big mistake by him. This looks so tacky and contrived. Pelle “Dead” met him and Quorthon at the Bathory ‘Under The Sign Of The Black Mark’ record signing and he couldn’t believe how “unmetal” they looked. Wearing leopard skin pants and very glam looking attire. They were posers. Outside of this brief meeting Jonas didn’t know Dead at all. This whole thing is ill conceived and badly done.
Rohan Pathak Pelle was one of many kids in the video which doesn’t necessarily mean he was personally cast or hung with the director at all, so c’mon now...
Metal community at least be happy someone is making a movie about a metal band. Talk about a genre that doesn't even seem to exist in movies, and by shitting on this movie before even seeing it, you're just proving Hollywood's point of not touching this genre of music.
Strikes me as a dude that managed to infiltrate mainstream media, make a bloody fortune, while still having secret Satanic easter-eggs on his website. I personally would give him his "Legendary" status primarily for playing with Bathory but I suppose if you look at the quantity and diversity of music videos and concert films he's done...it is pretty impressive in itself.
Forget the Metallica video, there's still no official trailer for this plus, it features no music by those the actual story revolves around. Says far more for this than these idiots on the sofa.
"A story based on a true story". BASED ON a true story, not actually a true story. I mean, there's a female character, but not a single female of any significance in the entire scene.

And drink some chocolate milk afterwords....
No.
I'm not a snob (well, maybe a little bit), but I'm glad he corrected her after she kept saying "heavy metal".
Do interviewers do ANY research whatsoever???
Black metal is heavy metal but not all heavy metal is black metal and that’s a fact.
Funny how Mayhem, Burzum and Darkthrone refuse to have anything to do with this movie.
Says a lot..
nah that's general misanthropy and nihilism.

My guess is there won't be even one song by Burzum, Mahyem or Darkthrone
Of course not. Varg Vikernes, Darkthrone, and Mayhem are greatly opposed to the film that they've refused to have their music included.
Woods of trees
Jonas Ackerlund is so full of himself.
He was the drummer for Bathory though.
*Was*
After leaving Bathory, he has since directed many pop music videos. He's a has been/sellout.
The makers of "Lords of Chaos" are liars. Darkthrone, Burzum, & Mayhem disapproved of the both the book and movie so much that they refused to have their music featured.
So don't even waste your time watching this Hollywood mistreatment of black metal music/history.
So you'll just follow what everyone else thinks then? I'll see it for myself and then decide whether it was worth the time or not.
Also Jonas has said that Mayhem's music is definitely in the movie. Read the recent Rolling Stone article with him.

That means it was made with out studio interference. This is an interpretation of genre defining events told by someone who was in the black metal scene during the time of it’s upbringing. I’m sorry but even the real life people this film is based on are naturally going to be the most biased on the quality and authenticity of the film.
MrNERD4 I’m not sure you could go so far as to say he was there for the advent and rise of black metal. He played drums for Quorthon for a blink of an eye then was scrapped before they recorded the first album. No ones blaming Hollywood, they’re blaming slimy Jonas for capitalizing on these guys’ story (that Jonas was most definitely not there for)

Lord of hipsters
is he a sellout or just lucky?
The interviewer on this is WAY out of her fucking depth.
Worst cast terrible director and you guys talking about blackmetal and know nothing about it this is a joke!
"Terrible director", jajaja
Jonas Åkerlund is a great producer and was the drummer in Bathory, but this movie was a big mistake by him. This looks so tacky and contrived. Pelle “Dead” met him and Quorthon at the Bathory ‘Under The Sign Of The Black Mark’ record signing and he couldn’t believe how “unmetal” they looked. Wearing leopard skin pants and very glam looking attire. They were posers. Outside of this brief meeting Jonas didn’t know Dead at all. This whole thing is ill conceived and badly done.
Some day you will grow up
Actually he casted pelle for the candlemass music video...
Rohan Pathak Pelle was one of many kids in the video which doesn’t necessarily mean he was personally cast or hung with the director at all, so c’mon now...
This is so wrong it hurts but it is quite comical. Will check it out the movie for the major cringe factor.
I have a good vibe of thsi movie
Then you're already misled.
Grammar.
Lie
lies.
Metal community at least be happy someone is making a movie about a metal band. Talk about a genre that doesn't even seem to exist in movies, and by shitting on this movie before even seeing it, you're just proving Hollywood's point of not touching this genre of music.
why they should? fans never asked for hollywood and the mainstream be interested in black metal, never wanted movies about black metal.
Good. Fuck Hollywood..........
Don't touch it if you won't do it justice.
Woah Jonas Akerlund! He's a brilliant prolific music video director. A real legend.
Strikes me as a dude that managed to infiltrate mainstream media, make a bloody fortune, while still having secret Satanic easter-eggs on his website. I personally would give him his "Legendary" status primarily for playing with Bathory but I suppose if you look at the quantity and diversity of music videos and concert films he's done...it is pretty impressive in itself.

qdmqskmdak who put you on the plant ugh
Forget the Metallica video, there's still no official trailer for this plus, it features no music by those the actual story revolves around. Says far more for this than these idiots on the sofa.
"A story based on a true story".
BASED ON a true story, not actually a true story. I mean, there's a female character, but not a single female of any significance in the entire scene.
