Oy vey no one likes an antisemite. Also wait Emory Cohen's pretty good looking so I don't know why he's complaining. He's certainly more handsome than the real Varg. I'd say just take it as a win. lol
@@GirlBehindTheCounterare you kidding? Young varg absolutely destroyed him in that department. Also a lot of people are against the 👃 🇮🇱 for many reasons
I quite enjoyed the movie, even though it’s only loosely based on what happened. Fun fact, Akerlund was actually a drummer for First Wave of Black Metal band Bathory, whom influenced many of the Norwegian Black Metal bands.
He also directed the music video Bewitched for Doom Metal band Candlemass. Dead, future vocalist for Mayhem and the one who commits suicide, was featured in the music video
I like metal i enjoyed the movie varg was a little cringe but if it was not based on mayhem and based on a random band from norway it would of been amazing
You make a good point. I think people are just mad at this movie because Mayhem is such an iconic band. Funny enough I just watched Blonde and feel the same way. I think people have a certain vitriol for it because it's Marilyn.
I think you nailed this review! I'm so glad you watched it and addressed the good and bad about the movie as well as the controversy surrounding it. What a fun dive into this subculture and bizarre movie which evokes drastically different opinions. I love the movie and really enjoyed hearing your take on all of it. Well done! 🤘
The director (Akerlund) really knew the story. He was a black metal drummer in those early years (even recorded stuff for Bathory). I think Euronymous family put their fingers on it and screwed it all up.
The Fact Euronyomus family worked closely with Rory Mculkin, Defiantly altered or at least skewed the directors and Rory's Vision of how Euro would be played.
Really enjoyed your review of this film. I've been a metalhead since I was about 10 (lets just say it's been a very long time since then) but I really didn't like this film, it's not exactly a "bad" film, but as a biopic of the band and telling the story of what happened it really misses the mark. I loved the fact that Mayhem and Varg refused to let them use their music in it too, Lol. There's a fascinating and pretty disturbing story to tell around the whole scene and hopefully a proper, and good movie about it all will come out one day.
I do hope so as well. Because I do not mind that it is a critical view of the band, there are perfectly valid reasons to be critical, but it feels like its uncomfortable with the subject matter itself.
@@GirlBehindTheCounter hi there is jay fleming how are you doing today Lords of chaos with a great movie and I hope the director make a sequel I live in the Bronx New York
If you want to know the spirit of norwegian Black Metal scene I'd suggest the documentary Until the Light Takes Us, or the 2013's iceland movie METALHEAD.
I’m a black metal fan and I really wanted to like the movie, but if they would’ve just told the real story it would’ve been a way better movie. The real story is so much better. They didn’t have to Hollywood it all up. I know one of the family’s worked with them but still That’s why us metal guys didn’t like it. I wanted to like it though.
also i think partly the reason why there arent many black metal songs in the film is because most black metal bands didnt allow their music to be played in the movie because you know the "true" essence of black metal is to not commercialize it plus the book had such a bad rep to begin with. there were several black metal songs played, and some were thrash metal where black metal was derived from
i'm a huge black metal fan and mayhem isn't even in my top 10 favorite BM bands but i absolutely love this movie. it's very entertaining because it does encapsulate the BM culture perfectly and how ridiculous some of these kids really were.
I'm a metal fan and I really enjoyed this movie. It really highlights how fucking lame metalheads act when they think they're badasses so it's super accurate lol.
I think there is not much music of them in this movie because in the time-span this movie covers mayhem only had one ep. I mean it ends with freezing moon.
@@GirlBehindTheCounter their music appears, rerecorded, throughout the film, they play death crush, freezing moon and more, you're showing that YOU don't understand the genre you're listening to.
Rightly so, because the film uses the usual worn-out metal cliché that these founding fathers of the second wave fought against. Their aim was to make radical art in the genre of metal. Also in the sense of what young radical artists do when they are fed up with a trend like the Satanic Panic. This becomes clear when it is emphasized in interviews that none of them were real Satanists. And the film still turns them into Beavis and Butthead. From a cinematic point of view, it's complete rubbish, with worn-out images and music of Black metal doesn't play any role. If anything, this movie adaptation should have been like the movie "Control".
I love how Varg was so pissed off because they got a Jew to play him in "Lords of Chaos." 🤣

@Gregbaltzer you could tell he was nuts then
I love how in this movie they were 30 years behind other counties in metal and Partied

Ah didn't know that. Very cool!
Similar issue with Control, the movie about Joy Disision. It has a specific perspecive, and it's movie gold imo.
And nobody cared about Christian Varg.....psychopath

It certainly has its merits.

I enjoy bio pics for what they are: Historical fiction.
Big fan of your work
Ah thank you :)

It's cool to see a different opinion from a metal fan. Love to see it.
It was movie with alot of fiction. Your so fucking lame you dont even know this shit
I think there is not much music of them in this movie because in the time-span this movie covers mayhem only had one ep. I mean it ends with freezing moon.
I LOVE this movie. I’m just kind of gutted it’s based on a true story
this needs more 🖤
Fuck this movie..wayyy WAYYYYY too kind to Euronymous
They re-recorded Mayhem's music. What wre you talking about?
What were you talking about?
@@GirlBehindTheCounter their music appears, rerecorded, throughout the film, they play death crush, freezing moon and more, you're showing that YOU don't understand the genre you're listening to.
@@seanlishman3247 making mistakes is ok but yes i agree
@@seanlishman3247 they used it without mayhem's permission. Also burzum's music was replaced with white noise and that's such a cheap move
@pacoloco1991 true about Burzum tho, bc Varg wouldn't let them.
I like the movie in German
