A very well-made thing, in the middle between “lad-film” and “psycho-drama”.

However, there’s a layer missing, and I don’t mean “where’s muh black metal soundtrack” or “Varg was right” or “but there was deep philosophy!!!111” or some such.

What I mean is the following: in the film “Generation P” (2011), first there’s one moment where the central character eats fly agaric mushrooms in the woods and trips heavily, and then a second moment where he takes acid at home and ancient Sumerian gods start appearing in the walls.

If you take these two moments from Generation P, and graft then onto Lords of Chaos—then this would provide an underlying narrative depth behind certain impulses of those involved and the directions taken by them.

Otherwise it’s like watching a film about Charles Manson, or Jimi Hendrix, or Black Sabbath, or the Ramones, where people only ever drink beer, and you’ve got this nagging feeling that something’s missing, something’s not quite right here…

The very notion, that in the beginning of the 1990’s, a new genre with heavy esoteric leanings could explode in Norway and Sweden, without accompanying psychedelic experiences, can’t be taken really seriously in this day and age.

Even the more “commercial” bands like Dimmu Borgir and Tiamat no doubt dabbled in this and that. One does not create an esoteric quasi-religion that’s alive and well to this day, evolving even, on beer alone. And this can be also said of early 1990’s Swedish death metal as well. One does not record albums like “Left Hand’s Path” and “Like an Ever Flowing Stream” on beer alone.

All this aside, “Lords of Chaos” is as well made as it could be. The director is, after all, a music/advert clip director—just like the director of “Generation P” for that matter—both directors did their best to use their skills in a new medium, plus stretch the budget, plus get the best possible performance out of enthusiastic B actors.

It worked. Keeping in mind how the film was made and on what terms—it works a 100%.
And is indeed worth re-watching.
Bravo to everyone who made this film the best that it could be!

Review By: SgtKowalski

_Lords of Chaos_ is not a Mayhem biopic. If you’re looking for that, or if you’re looking for a film about the rise of Black Metal in Norway, look entirely elsewhere. This is – at its surface – basically just a film about Euronymous and his relationship with Dead, and then with Varg. But it’s really about “edge”. About the kvlt of black metal that was arguably more vital to its identity than the actual music. About evil for evil’s sake alone. This brutality that from the outside looking in is almost as cartoonish as it is despicable.

I was born too late to be in the real thick of the black metal scene at its peak (and living in the Southern Hemisphere didn’t help much either), but when I was coming up in the 2000s, the black metal scene might not have been thriving, but it was there, and I was a part of it. Edginess took precedence over everything else. It was a huge part of my identity, and it was the entire identity of some of the people I spent my time with. We never killed anyone, of course, but it got dark, and the music did honestly take a backseat to that edginess. _Lords of Chaos_ does the same. The music takes a backseat. _Lords of Chaos_ is so not about Mayhem in fact, that I honestly can’t remember if Hellhammer, (garbage human, strong contender for world’s best living drummer, and member of Mayhem for over 30 cumulative years) ever even actually got a line in this thing.

I remember being young, and getting sick of proving myself to people whose whole idea of what made a black metal band count as “trve” enough was the fact that I’d never listened to them. Eventually, I told one such a fellow that the best black metal band in history was Twisted Sister, and then he never bothered trying to “outrank” my dedication to black metal again. What would be the point at that stage? _Lords of Chaos_ seems to view black metal in pretty much the same way. Twisted Sister could be the best black metal band in history for all that _Lords of Chaos_ actually displays about the subject.

But after all that, you know why I still liked _Lords of Chaos_? Maybe some of it was just nostalgia, but for the most part, it’s that there was actual characters in it. Sure the characters were, to a man, all assholes. And they may not have strongly resembled the people they were based on (except for the asshole part, that seems fair). But I was still invested in them. It wasn’t just a mad rush to get from one notable point in a band’s history to the next. There were people in it who interacted with each other. And that makes this the best musical biopic I’ve seen in years (despite not actually being one.)

Engaging, but people will hate it
I’m not sure how a person who isn’t a fan of black metal would react to the film, but I enjoyed it. It’s funny at times, and as a former elitist teenager who wouldn’t associate with “posers,” I can verify that the jerky attitude displayed by the characters is probably accurate. It gets better as it progresses, and by the end of the film, there are some very interesting discussions on art and philosophy. People will hate it, however, because most metal fans fancy themselves experts on the scene, and they’ll be too cool to admit that it’s actually a good movie.

“Lords of Chaos” is better than I expected. Jonas Akerlund in the past seemed like a typical music video brat-cum feature filmmaker; ie. his movies were full of gimmicky rubbish effects like “Spun” that works to get the attention of audiences of five minute video clips, but just gets tiresome with a full-length movie. I liked “Small Apartments”, though.

“Lords of Chaos” shows that Akerlund has become a capable filmmaker. They say directors become great not by adding, but by taking away, and this one feels gritty and realistic due to the restrained approach he has employed. It doesn’t feel like he gets in the way of the actors, which is to the film’s benefit, as Rory Culkin is great as Euronymous.

The movie is also, surprisingly, funny. It’s not afraid to point out the ridiculousness of this story. These oh-so-evil black metallers were part of some kind of Satanic cult that was bent on taking over the world… and they had to hide the flowers their parents sent them when their pals came over because they weren’t evil enough. Sure, they burnt down some churches and even killed a guy, but when Varg went public with this in an interview, turning the lights down, hanging his beloved Swastika on the wall, the reporter almost walked out of the interview, not taking the man seriously – and who could blame him?

The movie culminates in one of the most brutal murder scenes I have seen in a film. This is not a spoiler – you already knew that was how it was going to end. This scene must set some kind of record for the number of stab wounds in a movie scene.

I do have a big problem with the movie, though. And that is the character of Ann-Marit. You knew a movie made in the new millennium telling a story which was really entirely about men couldn’t be told without the introduction of a Strong Female Character (TM). You know, the female voice of reason, the only one who understands the poor foolish man, the one he never could have succeeded without, the one he should have listened to.

Only problem with all that garbage is the fact that of course, the character never existed. One could even argue that she couldn’t exist. What is such a Strong Female (TM) doing hanging out with a bunch of losers like Mayhem? She had to know they were heading for prison time, at least. The only women attracted to these guys would have been the idiots Varg is shown ploughing through.

It’s so lame that every movie has to introduce this lame stock character. With all the other restraint the movie showed, I wish they’d followed through and left her out. Her role is thankfully rather negligible, still allowing the movie to shine.

Lastly, you have to agree that it deserved an honorary Oscar just for casting a Jewish actor in the role of that boring pretend-Nazi puts, Kristian “Varg” Vikernes. If it made him mad (and it did) you can’t deny that’s a plus.
