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.

ding t-shirts worn. I caught Overkill, Megadeth, Pantera, Death, Manowar, Testament, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom and several black/death metal groups. I’m not sure when the events take place, but the band uses a cassette tape for their demo and black metal is the fad, so I’m thinking the 1990s. One band member is clearly wearing a NECROSHINE Overkill shirt and, since that particular album came out in 1999, I’m thinking the time frame is around that period. The film utilizes Nordic languages, I’m assuming Finnish (and maybe Swedish or Norwegian) with an occasional line in English. With no dubbing, English speakers will have to use the subtitles. I should add that a sequel debuted in 2024, called “Heavier Trip.” It runs 1 hour, 31 minutes, and was shot in Finland (Taivalkoski, Sipoo, Kirkkonummi and Helsinki) and, I think, Norway. GRADE: B
