Lords of Chaos[views:1865][posts:1]________________________________________ [Feb 18,2019 2:51pm - grandmotherweb ""] http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20190213-...grisly-film-that-has-caused-outrage '“It’s hard to explain to younger people just how shocking Venom were back in the early ’80s,” says Chris Kee, a journalist for the magazines Zero Tolerance and Powerplay. “Satan appeared on the album covers and was namechecked in pretty much all the songs. This was blatant pledging allegiance to the dark lord. I remember looking at the burning crucifix in the gatefold sleeve of their 1984 album, At War With Satan, and wondering if this really was a step too far.” [...] Over the years, numerous black-metal musicians have become serious students of the occult, but back in 1992, they cared more about seeming sinister and subversive. “Most of the black-metal guys wanted to appear as evil as they could,” says Kevin Hoffin, the author of TRVE: The Norwegian Black Metal Scene, “hence they promoted Satanism and inversion of biblical tenets. The tabloids had a field day as they’d found a way to carry on the ‘Satanic Music’ moral panic that plagued Judas Priest and Ozzy Osborne in the previous decade. But it was childish, insincere Satanism. The church-burnings, for instance... it’s easy to burn down a church that’s made of wood.”' |

It looks like shit. 13 year olds who like Deafheaven will enjoy it. I do like that they had a Jewish guy play Varg though. Bet it pissed him the fuck off haha he deserves that. It's the only good thing about this movie though. |
