One of my favorite films that Bloody Disgusting ever released is Heavy Trip, a Finnish black metal comedy about a small-town Finnish heavy metal band that blasts its way out of the quiet countryside for a big debut gig in Norway.
The film is an absolute blast and ended up being a hit in Norway, leading first-time feature filmmakers Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren back behind the camera for a sequel, tentatively titled Heavier Trip.
“That’s a wrap! Second part of Heavy trip is now shot,” the duo shared on Facebook. “And it was amazing journey from beginning to end full of weird and wonderful moments.”
“We had the privilege of working with the best people in the industry from Lithuania, Finland and Germany,” they added. “My deepest gratitude to everyone who put in the insane amount of hours to make this happen.
“I’m waiting so much to get the film finished and out there.
#heaviertrip”.
In the vein of Airheads – if the band were a young Dethklok from “Metalocalypse” – the Finnish comedy follows Turo (Johannes Holopainen), who is stuck in a small village in the Finnish countryside where his greatest passion is being the lead vocalist for the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum. The only problem is that he and his fellow headbangers have practiced for 12 years without playing a single gig. But that’s all about to change when the guys meet the promoter of a huge heavy metal music festival in Norway and decide it’s now or never. Hitting the road in a stolen van with a corpse, a coffin, and a new drummer from a local mental hospital in tow, Impaled Rektum travels across Scandinavia to make their dreams a reality.”
