The Norwegian black metal scene, with its corpse paint makeup and eerily lo-fi blast-beat powered anti-religious music, produced legendary bands like Darkthrone, Emperor, who were certainly inspired by Bathory, Venom, and Slayer.
Few stories have bewitched extreme music fans like the church burnings and murder chronicled in Lords of Chaos, the true-crime story centered around the True Norwegian Black Metal scene of the early nineties.
Now, courtesy of one of the cofounders of the black metal scene, the grim story is set to get the feature film treatment.
Lords of Chaos will also star Sky Ferreira (“Twin Peaks”) as a woman named Ann-Marit.
