Buried by time and dust

I doubt Per Yngve Ohlin (Dead) or Øystein Aarseth (Euronymous) would recognize themselves in Jonas Åkerlund's Lords of Chaos, wouldn't want to at least. They are both dead, the former by his own choosing, the latter viciously murdered by Kristian Vikernes (Count Grishnackh). All musicians. Otherwise based on a relatively short period of time in the early 90s when a musical genre 'true Norwegian Black Metal' thrived and gained world wide attention with church burnings and killings of few people. Can't really make my mind, the movie is actually better than I expected, but on the other hand, they have taken great liberties with the actual events and cut corners a lot. And due to reason or another, they made all these musicians and people in the scene look like absolute fucking retards.
