You mean True Black Metal, yes it is, plenty of Mayhem songs (obviously) and some Bathory, Tormentor etc, plus some others like Stand Up and Shout by Dio and I think I heard a song by Accept, but I’m not 100% sure

The scenes with Dead were pretty horrific and obviously the two murders were grim as ****, but overall I liked it and will definitely watch it again



Didn't see the point in posting it in the What have you seen thread because those that might want to watch it (not Nordie ) frequent this thread

Same, I disliked the way they portrayed Varg and felt like they were just making him look stupid because he wouldn’t get involved with the making of the film. It was a shame there was no Burzum on the soundtrack, but at least real Mayhem live and rehearsal tracks.

Dead’s suicide scene didn’t pull any punches though, perhaps it was a bit too much.

I'm sure you've all heard it once or twice.



But damn! What a way to kick off an album.



Emperor - Curse You All Men!

The riffing on this song blows my mind every time! Fantastic!!

Exactly what I thought, there seemed to a major emphasis on making Varg seem like an idiot, pretty petty if you ask me, but like I said earlier, I still enjoyed it and if I can persuade my other half to watch it at the cinema, I’ll be going next month (she wouldn’t even watch all the trailer due to the “shouty music” so I highly doubt it )

Yeah, they started off OK but he’s gradually got a bit unhinged haha, I can’t watch them any more. The film though portrays him in more of an awkward teenager bumping into things kind of way. Plus they made him chubby. I think that Snorre comes of worst though, he’s been turned into a stupid lapdog character who does anything Varg asks him too and I don’t think that really represents him in reality.

Yeah, he’s listed on IMDB as Varg’s Driver!

But, like the book, it’s not based on 100% truth, although I doubt that will stop people kicking off online in their black painted bedrooms with their poorly applied corpse paint on

I will have to show it to the mate I got the book from I am sure, so this will give me a chance to see the film as just that. A fiction based on true events. Lawdy!
It did make me dig out the little Burzum I have tbh.
