In today’s episode of Gary Talks Physical Media, Gary reaches back into the collection for a retro Blu-ray review of Lords of Chaos, director Jonas Åkerlund’s dark and disturbing 2018 film based on the rise of the Norwegian black metal scene and the shocking real-life events surrounding the band Mayhem. Starring Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen, Jack Kilmer and Sky Ferreira, Lords of Chaos follows Mayhem guitarist Euronymous as a group of young musicians attempting to create the darkest and most extreme music imaginable becomes consumed by rivalry, violence, church burnings and murder. What begins as rebellion and provocation gradually crosses the line into something frighteningly real. Gary revisits the film to see how it holds up several years after its release. Does Lords of Chaos work as a compelling true-crime drama even for viewers who aren't immersed in the world of black metal? How effectively does the film balance its brutal subject matter with its streak of pitch-black humor? And do the performances from Rory Culkin and Emory Cohen sell the increasingly dangerous relationship between Euronymous and Varg Vikernes? Gary also takes a look at the Blu-ray release, breaking down the picture quality and transfer, audio presentation, bonus features and special features, packaging and overall presentation for physical media collectors. Is Lords of Chaos an overlooked music biopic, a disturbing true-crime story, a black metal horror movie, or some strange combination of all three? And is the Blu-ray still worth adding to your physical media collection?
