German Thrash Metal, jawohl!
Thrash metal roars from the heart of Germany. This documentary dives into the early 1980s, showcasing a generation determined to break away from the norm and stand out from the crowd. They found refuge in fast and aggressive music that made everything else fade away.
The film takes viewers on a 40-year journey into the core of German thrash and its exceptional fan culture, which originated in the Ruhr region and continues to unite fans worldwide. Featuring legendary bands like Kreator and Sodom, the documentary not only highlights the musicians but also the devoted fans and event organizers who helped shape the scene. It reveals how these bands conquered Europe and played a pivotal role in bridging East and West Germany – all with a hefty dose of humor and the occasional beer.
