In this offbeat road comedy from Finland, Turo is a misfit stuck in a small village where the best thing in his life is being the lead vocalist of an amateur metal band. When Toro and his bandmates Jynkky, Lotvonen and Pasi receive a surprise visit from the promoter of a huge heavy metal music festival in Norway, they decide the time is now or never to chase their dreams. After an awkward warm-up gig, the band — which chooses the name Impaled Rektum — hits the road and goes full metal, stealing a death van, transporting a corpse, kidnapping a new drummer from the mental hospital, and fleeing to Norway, with the authorities in hot pursuit, all in order to play their first gig and make their dreams a reality.

"I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Your enjoyment of this film may be proportionate to your enjoyment of Scandinavian extreme metal, as it features a lot of that, and has fun with a lot of the associated tropes of the genre. Beyond all that, the movie is great fun, with likable characters, and some real wit and heart. I can't wait to watch the sequel now!"
"Such a fun time and a must watch for any metal fan! :sign_horns:"
"Funny Metal Comedy from Finland."
"Wonderfully dark comedy that is a ton of fun. It's a little predictable but that doesn't stop it from being worth a buy."
"Another homerun!"
"If you like heavy metal, you'll love this movie."
"An excellent release from Music Box Films, a Road-Black metal-coming of age comedy from northern Europe. This chronicles the adventures of a black metal band that has to play a show in the USA, the first of a two part (so far) saga."
"Bought a heavier trip on a whim so I had to go back and check the first one out. Simply wonderful, and no you don´t have to love Black Metal to enjoy it. Great acting and story. The release is top notch. Higly recommended!"
"An enjoyable film."
"This is a great metal movie. Looking forward to the second one."
