I've always been a fan of Norwegian, Swedish & other European Death Metal/Black Metal bands.
I've always been a fan of the Norwegian Black Metal band Mayhem, I like the actors that portrayed Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) Dead (Per Yngve "Pelle" Ohlin) & Varg Vikernes.
If you are a fan of the band, like their music, then watch this film & read the book that the film is based on.
Euronymous was pro-communism, and Varg Vikernes was pro-neo Nazism so obviously they didn't agree on most things. They never really liked each other much.
Varg Vikernes burnt churches.
Dead was self-destructive, depressed, suicidal and he used to self-harm a lot while on stage.
Dead created the "Corpse paint" aesthetic style of makeup.
It's sad that he committed suicide, but sick that Euronymous used his suicide as a album cover because he thought it was funny to take a photograph of his suicide.
Dead's death in the film is brutal & people can watch the film and form their own opinion about the band/the band members and if Varg Vikernes murdering Euronymous was justified or not.
Love them or hate them, (depending on your opinion about them) I love Mayhem, this is one of my favourites films about a Norwegian Black Metal band.
