This movie was fantastic, the movie started out as a bit humorous but got dark really fast.  The story of mayhem is really interesting

The violence was for me almost unwatchable, but it’s a well-made and worryingly plausible film.

Ligesom sine hovedpersoner vil filmen chokere. Det lykkes med ufatteligt blodige og udpenslende mordseancer.

...film- och musikvideoregissören Jonas Åkerlund är givetvis som klippt och skuren för att berätta den här historien och hans riviga, amfetamin-stinna visuella signatur från knarkskildringen “Spun” gör sig påmind även här.

...historien är fascinerande. Om man inte har koll på vad som hände bandet Mayhem kommer man lära sig något viktigt om dessa militanta misantroper som tyckte vanliga satanister var för humana.

En brutal historia om störda individer, återgiven i oväntat frejdig ton och vig bildbehandling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lords of Chaos about? Toggle content

In the 1990s, a group of young musicians in Oslo, Norway sought to create a new sound that would shake the foundations of the music world. They called it "True Norwegian Black Metal," and their band, Mayhem, quickly became the face of the genre. But as their popularity grew, so did their violent and destructive tendencies. The film follows the story of Euronymous, the band's founder, and his descent into madness and chaos as he becomes consumed by his own ego and desire for fame. As he clashes with his bandmates and rivals, including Varg Vikernes, the infamous musician behind Burzum, the scene descends into a surreal atmosphere of violence and terrorism that ultimately leads to tragedy. Based on real events that shocked Norway and shook the music world to its core.
