Turo, Pasi, Lotvonen und Jynkky werden in ihrem kleinen finnischen Dorf als Freaks verlacht und absolut nicht ernst genommen. Ein Auftritt auf dem Northern-Damnation-Festival in Norwegen soll das nun ändern und den lang ersehnten Durchbruch für die vier Freunde bringen. Leider geht die Generalprobe in der Dorfkneipe aber gründlich in die Hose, ein Bandmitglied gibt den Löffel ab und der Van wird auch noch konfisziert. Doch eine waschechte Metalband lässt sich von solchen Kleinigkeiten natürlich nicht stoppen! (Ascot Elite Filmv.)

"Better to shit yourself than to be forever constipated." - This quote sums this up pretty well... I don't think I've ever seen a musical comedy this good. Since its creators come from Finland, it had to be about hairy metalheads. I willingly admit without torture that I really laughed, even though their was sometimes a hint of awkwardness to this. But if I focus on the best jokes, they totally blew my mind: for example, when they were taking promotional photos using a radar speed gun. Or else, for instance, the singer vomiting on stage was also a good touch. The very nutritious soundtrack remains a matter of course. (80%)

Schöner metallischer Abstecher über ländliche Faulenzer, die gerne etwas erreichen würden, aber nicht genau wissen, wie sie es anstellen sollen. Leichter Humor, entspannte Atmosphäre, positive Energie, ein paar sehr gute Ideen (Fotografieren von Promo-Fotos mit einem Polizeiradar). Ich würde bei diesem Film nicht mit Superlativen übertreiben, aber es hat mir Spaß gemacht und die Zeit ist schnell vergangen.

Finally, once again something I can call a completely crazy film-making trip. And after a long while, something directed by the Finns, who, when they express themselves in a comedy, are simply worth it. Dark humor is intertwined with absurd humor and everything is under the rule of a brutal death pagan folk black metal band from a place near Oulu, which plays as if Odin himself sent them to Earth, but nobody has really heard them play yet. There is a ton of references, some of them are pop culture ones, so you have to know the metal subculture a bit; at least in terms of music choices, which create an absolutely magnificent soundtrack. But there is also a number of scenes that are universal and can entertain even those not fond of metal music. They are just a little bit darker than would be desirable. But what can you do, that’s the Finns for you. When they do something, they do it until they are sweating blood, and either it doesn’t work or it’s brutally entertaining. And here it worked perfectly; an A+ movie.

I was a bit afraid of the Death Metal, because I don't really like this genre, but surprisingly I didn't suffer and had a nice time. Some of the gags were very funny, the ideas creative and the main characters properly weird. Metal fans will surely be purring with glee. For me, better 3. 65%.

This festival crowd-pleaser safely adheres to the proven concept of outsider refining melodrama. However, with a detached view and a lot of earthy and, in places, even folksy humour, it examines the subculture of mega-brutal metal. Avowed devotees of metal who still believe that Beelzebub can be conjured by playing a record backwards will be outraged by the film’s sacrilegious approach, but everyone who rather finds videos with dudes wearing the warpaint of sad clowns to be cute or funny will have a good time. 7/10

What a kick in the Impaled Rectum! I have found many times that the Finnish sense of humor simply resonates with me, and this piece of vomit was right up my alley. If you have a problem with my choice of words in this review, watch the film first, you’ll understand. Finally, a film with a decent soundtrack. While the hostile northern Europe is full of these kick-ass metal bands, warmer climates give rise to whiny hits, with Enrique Iglesias in the lead. I had a great time, and I probably won't get the greeting of Lotvonen's father out of my head anytime soon.
