| This film traces the rise, fall and impact of thrash metal; from its early years, through its influence on todays heavy metal scene. It is the story of the heaviest, hardest music of the 80s and early 90s as told by the bands who 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. Featured artists include Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Exodus, Testament, Lamb of God, Overkill, Kreator, Destruction, Shadows Fall, Suicidal Tendencies, Death Angel, Sodom, Meshuggah, Vio-Lence, Nuclear Assault and many more.
