Only just watched this clip now,hes making a bit of big deal about the lies in the movie ,but the only apparent inaccuracies hes focusing on is weather  Euronymous had a girlfriend and if he cut his hair?.

He goes through loads of them in other videos. He even made a list as people asked him about this and that element, since he hasn't watched it himself.

I picked up the Lords of Chaos book. What's the general consensus on this, is it as divisive as the film?

Now its been around 20 years since I read it but from what I recall it was a great read. very engrossing and full of info that I wasn't getting from Kerrranng at the time 

Certainly better than the movie

Defo better than the movie 
Its been about 20 years since I've read it myself but I recall it being a good read. The main problem that people have with it is that its not so much a book about Norwegian BM as it is more about occult themed crimes in general, even the name references a group of American kids with no connection to BM. It's also fairly responsible for reinforcing the myths created about the whole Norwegian scene with its tabloid style sensationalism. I think Varg and others have stated they were misquoted, nothing new there!
If you want a book about Black Metal I'd recommend Cult Never Dies by Dayal Patterson.

CND outs cool but it's more of an expanded zine covering the  wider BM phenomenon.  LoC was enjoyable.  Lots of hate for it but I found it interesting.

Yeah i really enjoyed it, must revisit it. Regards Lord of Chaos the book, read it years ago and as far as i remember i did enjoy it but i do remember skipping alot of pages regarding Varg talking sh1te.

a worthwhile buy also is -> METALION: The Slayer Mag Diaries, by Jon Metalion Kristiansen

Looks like someone may have found the film inspirational

i wonder after he gets out will he kill anyone in his band :  "Vodka Vultures" haha what a name !

[Weltenfeind]

I was just looking at my bookshelf and I realised that when  I recommended Cult Never Dies, I actually meant to recommend Black Metal : Evolution of the Cult by Dayal Patterson.
Metalion :The Slayer Mag Diaries is a great read too.

There was a book about black metal a few years back with a great front cover of a fantastic snatch, what was the album or book ?

[Weltenfeind]

This classy act?
