Just read that a movie is premiering at Sundance this month, based on the book Lords of Chaos. The movie has already had a complicated creation, changing directors and stars and such. I'm curious to see it - if anyone finds a real trailer, please post here!
Apparently there's a new Metallica video that uses footage from the movie, and Metallica doesn't appear in it. Which is stupid because Metallica isn't black metal.
I started reading Lords of Chaos soon after it was published, but after a few chapters I felt sick from the descriptions of the murder that occurs (forget the details - one black metal idiot killed another). That's never really happened to me before - I guess it was also because of the photos of the crime scene.
But I still find this scene kind of interesting to hear about, so as I say I'm interested in the movie. I like the IDEA of black metal, and some of the convictions the musicians have about the music and how it should and shouldn't be are interesting to me, and how the scene should and shouldn't be (or should I say "have been?") are interesting.
