Heavy Trip (2018, Johannes Holopainen)
In Finnish/Norwegian comedy Heavy Trip, Turo is stuck in a rut in a small village in Northern Finland. The only highlight in his life is provided by his role as lead singer in an amateur metal band Impaled Rektum. The guys get a surprise visitor from Norway: the head of Northern Damnation, a huge metal festival. They decide that it’s now or never.
After a miserable warm-up gig Impaled Rektum head to the festival, they steal a van, a corpse and a coffin from the local cemetery, along the way they gain a new drummer from the local mental hospital and flee to Norway. As they are escaping Finnish police, they have to face the Norwegian Army and its notorious “Delta troppen” in order to get to play their first real gig.
