This thrash slasher dark comedy about "American Black Metal" (not NSBM) band's show gone awry is as enjoyable for a rock fan, as the Green Room or "Bill & Ted" series, despite its lower budget. Haters can find many reasons starting with blasphemy, but I recommend it to you Metal brotherhood for many reasons starting with the protagonist's background, which I can relate to, and to Sisterhood as well, if you'd like to hang out with us ;)
So the flick is lacking 5 000 000 budget to make sound as realistic and captivating as "Green Room": most action happens during a Metal gig, but this is not used to the full. However, the original music is versatile and "true", and the Lyrics+Animation comic grindcore track during the credits is hilariously NON politically-correct in a very 90s way.
The mood is very metal instead, though I've deliberately not reviewed "Bill & Ted Face the Music" of respect to 80s hair metal and coming of age movies. And though there are some great vibes in this Bill & Ted sequel, but I'd rather see them watching or participating in this gig, instead of "Grandma's Incinerator", or the protagonists being their children ;)
Speaking of which, lead actors have played their roles OK: lady has appropriate character development (for a teenage flick), and the lad could be less placid in dialogue and overall more like "Hasher" movie, though he unleashes his passion "on stage" so this looks like deliberate behaviour.
Death'91 fans would appreciate the Nemesis' appearance and there are numerous homages and references to Metalhead culture.
