We've been excited for Daily Dead readers to see Lords of Chaos since Heather Wixson called the film "an unapologetically ferocious coming-of-age story" in her 4-star Sundance review, and ahead of the movie's release this February, Gunpowder & Sky revealed the full-length trailer that dives into the rise of the Norwegian Black Metal movement.

Gunpowder & Sky will release Lords of Chaos in theaters on February 8th and On Demand beginning February 22nd.

Written by Dennis Magnusson and Jonas Åkerlund, and based on the book of the same name by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Søderlind, Lords of Chaos was directed by Åkerlund and stars Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen, Sky Ferreira, Jack Kilmer, and Valter Skarsgård. Lords of Chaos was produced by VICE, 20th Century Fox, Scott Free Productions, and Insurgent Media.

Synopsis: "A teenager's quest to launch Norwegian Black Metal in Oslo in the 1980s results in a very violent outcome. Lords of Chaos tells the true story of True Norwegian Black Metal and its most notorious practitioners - a group of young men with a flair for publicity, church-burning and murder: MAYHEM."

Check out the new teaser trailer below, and in case you missed it, read Heather's Sundance interview with director Jonas Åkerlund, producer Danny Gabai, and co-stars Rory Culkin, Jack Kilmer, and Sky Ferreira.
