Résumé

While
Heavy Metal is often accused of being static and conservative,
in truth it is a radical form that regularly re-invents
itself, and one which attracts generation after generation
of musicians willing to learn from the past, but hungry
to evolve the future. And so it was that, in the early
1980s, a young man named Lars Ulrich was so taken by
the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, then creating music
paper headlines in the UK, that he came to England to
track down obscure records, take them home to LA and,
with his buddies, listen to them - until they came up
with a genre of their own, soon be termed Thrash Metal.
This film is a study and review of this new dawn in
rock music, and with the aid of those who were there
at the time, presents both the story of this fascinating
musical journey and reassess the sounds, the bands,
the impact and the legacy of Thrash. It features interviews
with members of Metallica, Megadeth, Machine Head, Diamond
Head, Elixir, Neurosis, Laaz Rockit, Sacrilege BC, and
many others. Also performance footage of all the pivotal
Thrash bands, review and re-assessment from journalists
Malcolm Dome, Lonn Friend, and Joel McIver, archive
material, location shoots, and much, much more.
