Better shit thighs than eternal constipation.

Overview

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.

"Heavy Trip" (2018) is consistently entertaining, especially if you have experience in bands or the rock/metal scene. The Nordic locations are superb and it’s interesting catching references to specific bands, including t-shirts worn.
