Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal

Trumping thrash fans is a tough endeavour, let alone accomplishment. Because the metallic sub-genre is so specific by means of definitive factors and temporal positioning in the scheme of heavy metal and music as whole, most proponents are diehards who pretty much know every finite aspect/trivial piece of information possible. However, with its intensely analytical approach, unearthed performance footage of rare and prominent bands, and interviews with the likes of Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Anthrax and more, documentary Get Thrashed manages to offer something to even the most discerning rager. And if it isn’t in the film, it must be in the extra footage, a series of brief snippets featuring artists and historians praising prominent thrash acts divided up into their respective countries of origin. Flowing, edifying and inspiring, even those unconcerned with thrash should find this documentary on a brief but severe musical aberration an enthralling experience.
