Lords Of Chaos 05/19 Blu-ray (Rental)

Product Description The story of True Norwegian Black Metal and it's most notorious practitioners: a group of young men with a flair for publicity, church-burning and murder: MAYHEM. Oslo, 1987. Seventeen-year-old Euronymous is determined to escape his idyllic Scandinavian hometown and create "true Norwegian black metal" with his band, MAYHEM. Review Frequently unpleasant but oddly compelling - not least because Åkerlund ensures that the film never takes itself as seriously as its subjects did. --Michael Nordine, IndieWire Åkerlund stages the film's violence with an unsettling, unflinching reality, to drive home the difference between entertainment and the real world. --Adam Graham, Detroit News Inside Culkin's quietly convincing performance, deadpan cynicism battles with genuine tenderness in a way that gives the film an affecting yet appropriately faulty soul. --Hope Madden, Columbus Underground
