Synopsis
In 2018, we closed our festival with HEAVY TRIP, but you don’t have to see the original to thoroughly enjoy this amazing heavy metal comedy sequel. HEAVIER TRIP follows the misfit band Impaled Rektum on their journey to play Wacken, the largest metal festival in the world. However, their journey is anything but smooth. As they navigate a series of absurd challenges—from run-ins with eccentric locals to mechanical failures—the band members confront their insecurities and aspirations. The film beautifully balances humor with moments of genuine emotion, showcasing the power of friendship and the pursuit of passion.
With its vibrant cinematography and a killer soundtrack HEAVIER TRIP captures the spirit of rebellion and camaraderie. This feel-good film is a celebration of chasing dreams against the odds and finding joy in the journey, making it a must-watch for comedy fans and anyone who likes symphonic-post-apocalyptic-reindeer-grinding-Christ-abusing-extreme-war-wagan-fennoscandian-metal music.
