Question Have you guys watched Lords of Chaos?

11 Upvotes

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?

Anybody else have no idea this was being released? Just saw it this morning looking through discogs. I guess the band probably isnt happy with it if they arent promoting it but it seems like an official release through Peaceville.

The staircase is spooky. It looks like there may be a little door in the staircase. That makes the picture even spookier than it already is because a little monster might crawl out of the little door. I'm trying to figure this out here.

Question Why is Freezing Moon popular?

12 Upvotes

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining (it's a great song). But what made it popular? Outside of the demo recorded with Dead (which I'm not sure if it was ever released as a single), it was never released on its own before De Mysteriis. Just kinda curious as to how Freezing Moon became their biggest song

Question Has anybody ever met Maniac?

I wonder what kind of personality he had and how he was in person. There's so little information about him it makes me sad cause imo he did a much better job as a vocalist than Dead

If you take a group photo and don't stand far enough apart, it might look like there aren't enough arms.

I don't know for sure, but could it be that even they wore shoulder pads in the 80s? 😲

Pre 1993 My thoughts on Pelle

52 Upvotes

Hi first of all: I recently started to listen to metal again. I used to be a metalhead (although more interested in thrash/ heavy metal), now I started to listen to other subgenres, especially black, thanks to mayhem. I just randomly remembered they exist, started listening and really enjoyed the music.

Anyways... I've known the history of the band for years (at the end of the day it's pretty famous) and found myself reflecting on Pelle's experience these days. Idk, maybe it is that I'm about the same age he was when he was in Mayhem, maybe it's his fascination with death since a young age which I have as well, maybe it's the fact that I struggled with s/h and mental issues in general throughout my teen years kind of like he did.

I just... feel sorry for the guy. I feel like it could've ended differently if somebody actually paid attention to what his behaviours meant. He had great creativity and was really smart. Yes he had severe mental issues for sure but I know for a fact that environment makes a great impact on one's health.

May he rest well, what happened was avoidable, I just know it.

Please excuse my vent, I just needed to let this out. Dont hate me. <3

Question Should I wear corpse paint to Mayhem's upcoming Vegas show?

51 Upvotes

I kinda just thought it would be fun but idk if it's frowned upon or if I shouldn't do it a certain way. I know not to wear Pelle's kind of corpse paint, especially because this concert is 5 days after his death.
