It looks like we'll be in some film festivals starting in October. Thats all the release info I have right now, but we'll make sure to get the word out when we lock in some screenings, air dates, DVD release etc.
Thanks again.

hope it comes to europe! been awaiting for this documentary! it's gonna be awesome
shareWe'll get it released in Europe. Absolutely. Working on it as fast and as best we can.
Thanks so much for the support!
Regards,
Rick
This is gonna be awesome.
Can't wait. As a thrasher, and a teenager.. it'll be really cool to see how the Bay Area and Teutonic thrash scenes started, especially due to the fact that I wasn't alive during the said time period.
I'm totally stoked. Is Tom G. Warrior going to be interviewed?
Thanks so much for the support.
We interviewed a ton of thrash fans, thrash bands and thrash inspired bands including the guys from Sodom, Kreator and Destruction for Get Thrashed. But for various reasons, timing and location being the key - we were not able to interview Celtic Frost. (that does not mean that we dont touch on them in GT)

I doubt that Phil Anselmo will have anything interesting to say. Just listen to the guy, he really sounds like he's going to fall asleep any second. That dude is narcoleptic and he actually makes you narcoleptic aswell.
shareYeah, I saw him on Mehind the Music and I thought he was going to pass out.

Yes! :D I've been waiting for this one!! Thrash metal is my favourite genre, and as OperationIvy, I wasn't alive then either (born 1987) and a big fan of both the teutonic and the bay area scene. KREATOR!
Will watch and buy this movie as soon as I get the chance!
About time this movie was added to imdb, as far as I remember - this wasn't here a couple of months ago :)
Is Dark Angel in the film? Cause they *beep* rule. Exhorder too.
shareI bet they won't be. *beep* Pantera
shareYeah, what does Pantera have to do with thrash? They went from non-metal to tough guy stomp metal. What about Exhorder?! I'm all about Sodom and old school Megadeth footage (the most). It would be killer if Pestilence, Possessed, Holy Terror, Sadus and other overlooked acts were included as well.
I'd like to add that it's extremely lame and a total slap in the face to the legacy of real metal, that this documentary would include the likes of "kittie" and Corey Taylor, of Slipknot, who aren't even metal. Slipknot is like limp bizkit trying to be heavier, and thinking every day is Halloween. No thrash there.
Pantera's Cowboys From Hell is heavily thrash influenced, they just merely adopted a more groove style. And they did play metal before Cowboys From Hell, its not thrash, but its definitely metal (at least the later albums of their 80's period were).
All of those "nu" bands you list at the end, as mentioned in the documentary, are directly influenced by thrash, which is the reason why they are in the video. Godsmack is not thrash, but the vocalist started off in a thrash band, stuff like that is information that should be/is contained in this video. Obscure thrash acts talking about the glory days would get old fast, you need familiar faces in heavy music to truly get a grasp at how influential thrash was and still is.
What, Pantera isn't thrash? Listen to "Becoming," *F--king* Hostile," "By Demons Be Driven," or heck, a lot of their songs. And have you heard Kittie? They sound like they could rip your face off. And I agree about having some overlooked acts in there. I saw Possessed in concert in 1987. Well, maybe in Part II? Can we make requests? I vote for Overkill and Nuclear Assault!!!
