In 1987, Euronymous (Culkin) is a young man living in Oslo, Norway, and is desperate to escape his traditional upbringing, wanting instead to create true Norwegian black metal with his band Mayhem. After a series of shocking publicity stunts put him and his band on the map, the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Rory Culkin dives deep into the dark and disturbing world of Norwegian heavy metal music, in this eye-opening horror that’s as shocking as any heavy metal band you could think of.
