First trailer for the true life tale of Norwegian Black Metal.
Director Jonas Åkerlund's Lords of Chaos tells the story of Mayhem, a Norwegian Black Metal band who became infamous following a spree of murders, suicides and church burnings in the Scandinavian country in the 1990s.
The film stars the very non-Norwegian Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen, Sky Ferreira and Jack Kilmer, and judging from this first trailer seems to be adopting a bizarrely comic tone for such a dark story.
Lords of Chaos is in UK cinemas March 29th.
