Already in select theaters, and set to debut on various digital platforms this Friday, February 22nd, Jonas Åkerlund’s Lords of Chaos is centered around real-life Norwegian black metal band Mayhem and its co-founder Euronymous (played by Rory Culkin), whose tragic rise and fall is explored here.
Daily Dead recently spoke with Åkerlund, who got his start as the drummer for Bathory and went on to nab several awards for his groundbreaking work in the world of music videos, and he discussed how personal this story was for him, and why he wanted to be the one to bring Lords of Chaos to the big screen. Åkerlund also talked about Culkin’s longstanding loyalty to the project, finding the balance to the “truth and lies” of this story, and more.
I would love to start off at the beginning, and talk about the journey of getting this film made, because I know it took years.

The influential black-metal band Mayhem will reissue their second album, 2000’s Grand Declaration of War, later this fall. The album, which came six years after their celebrated first LP, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, found the group incorporating elements of prog and art-rock into its typically grim sound.
Drummer Hellhammer and the band’s guitarist on the album – Blasphemer, who departed the group in 2008 – oversaw the remix and remastering, which was done by Paradise Lost producer Jaime Gomez Arellano. The record, due out December 7th, also features new artwork by Glyn Smyth.
