Get Thrashed - A History Of Thrash Metal

Tentatively due for release on DVD in April 2008, "Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal" traces the rise, fall and impact of thrash metal, an extreme style of heavy metal popularized in the early 1980s by bands like METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER, ANTHRAX, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and others. It is the story of the heaviest, hardest music of the '80s and early '90s as told by the bands that lived it, the fans and bands that grew up on it and by the artists that carry the "thrash metal" flag today. The documentary throws new light on an overlooked, yet incredible music scene and how it went from a simple rumbling in the underground to a loud, obnoxious and constant roar in the (almost) mainstream. The documentary is produced by Saigon1515 Productions in association with Kundrat Productions.

"Get Thrashed" was directed by Ernst and the documentary's associate producer is Rat Skates, founder and former drummer of OVERKILL.

I'm stoked to get this, I watched a couple of trailers of this at Blabbermouth good stuff!

Considering my thrash experience only includes the most well known bands (Overkill, Kreator, the Big Three, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.), I will probably put it on my never ending want list.

there are a few threads about this here i think. most of the guys here are wanting to see it.

Saw this, very cool documentary with interviews with alot of thrash bands from the 80's ;-)

I'm going to buy it.
