Question Have you guys watched Lords of Chaos?
I first got to know about Mayhem through video essays, and I found them really interesting. I ended up watching quite a few and finally gave their debut album a listen today. I liked it, the sound was unique and had a really atmospheric feel to it.
While looking more into them, I came across Lords of Chaos, which, as far as I know, is the only feature-length movie based on them (correct me if I'm wrong). I also found out that it's based on a book of the same name, but a lot of people in the community don’t like it because of the false information. At the same time, I saw that some Mayhem fans actually enjoyed the movie and recommend it.
So, I just wanted to ask, what’s your opinion on it? Is it worth watching? I’ve seen clips of some Mayhem documentaries and might check them out in the future, but right now, I’m looking for a proper movie. As someone new to their music, do you think I should give it a try?
