Overview

Turo is stuck in a small village and the best thing in his life is being the lead vocalist for the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum. He and his bandmates have practiced for 12 years without playing a single gig. The guys get a surprise visitor from Norway—the promoter for a huge heavy metal music festival—and decide it’s now or never. They steal a van, a corpse, and even a new drummer to make their dreams a reality.

Viewing Notes

Perhaps my favorite movie of the festival. So much heart and right in my wheelhouse (heavy metal band tries to make it big).
