Bloody Disgusting and Doppelgänger Releasing joined forces back in 2018 to release Heavy Trip, a Finnish black metal comedy about a small-town heavy metal band that blasts its way out of the quiet countryside for a big debut gig in Norway. The film is an absolute blast and ended up being a hit in Norway, leading first-time feature filmmakers Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren back behind the camera for a sequel, titled Heavier Trip!
Filming on Heavier Trip has wrapped and with the project headed to the upcoming European Film Market, we’ve got some first-look images as well as plot details for ya this week.
The upcoming sequel promises to be “Harder. Faster. Louder.”
Here’s the official plot synopsis…
“The most ferocious death metal band in the world, Impaled Rektum, is incarcerated in a Norwegian prison when they discover that the guitarist’s family is facing significant financial trouble. In an effort to assist them, the band breaks out of prison and embarks on a journey through northern Europe to perform at the largest and wildest metal festival in the world: Wacken.
“Deceived by an dishonest record label legend and pursued by a murderous prison guard, numerous adventures await them; but their ultimate challenge becomes maintaining the band together amidst this chaos.”
Johannes Holopainen, Chike Ohanwe, Samuli Jaskio, and Max Ovaska star.
