Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Heavy Trip (Finnish: Hevi reissu, Swedish: En heavy resa) is a Finnish comedy film released in 2018, directed by first-time directors Jukka Vidgren and Juuso Laatio. The comedy tells the story of a small-town heavy metal band's journey to their dream gig in Norway. The movie satirizes heavy metal tropes (a la Metalocalypse and This Is Spinal Tap), with a focus on those relevant to the Finnish and Scandinavian metal scene. Heavy Trip was first released in Finland on 9 March 2018, followed the very next day by screenings in the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, garnering mixed to positive reception from audiences and critics. The original songs performed in the movie by the band "Impaled Rektum" were composed by Mika Lammassaari, the guitarist of Mors Subita. Eemeli Bodde of Mors Subita provides the vocals for these songs. The rest of the movie's soundtrack was composed by Lauri Porra. The sequel to the film, Heavier Trip, was released in theaters in the fall of 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
