Trivia
Anders Ohlin (Pelle 'Dead' Ohlin)'s brother was very supportive of the movie and one of the pairs of jeans that Jack Kilmer's character wears is a pair that belonged to Pelle. All of the other clothes were designed from scratch but those particular jeans were legitimate.

Goofs
When Varg leaves the video store on 10 August 1993 with a copy of Die Hard 2 (1990), the video cases for several films that would not be released until several years later can be seen in the window, including The Bone Collector (1999) and Analyze That (2002).

Quotes
Euronymous: [standing over Dead with a shotgun] You know, there's a way out if you're so fucking depressed. One shot to the head and it's all over. No more pain.

Alternate versions
The US theatrical and DVD releases were cut for an R rating, toning down the gory violence of Dead's suicide, Faust's stabbing and Euronymous' murder. The unrated 'directors cut' version is only available on Blu-ray in the US. It runs for 118 minutes instead of 116 as per the R-rated version.

A bunch of made up C$%P

In the words of Varg Vikernes, this "movie" is a bunch of made up C%&P., it is fictional and mostly made up propaganda to vilify the people portrayed.
