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.
Practical Effects
The corpse makeup and homemade stage props are gloriously gross.
Writing
Dialogue so deadpan it hurts — Finnish humor at its driest.
Score
Original metal that's surprisingly, legitimately crushing.
Director
Juuso Laatio
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Finland has the world's highest concentration of metal bands per capita — this film is basically a love letter to that national identity.
The band's original songs were written by actual Finnish metal musicians, and the 'Norwegian' promoter actor is Swedish — the ultimate Nordic in-joke.
