Watch Heavy Trip ((top)) [DIRECT]

But nothing beats the original. Heavy Trip is a film about how it’s never too late to be who you were always meant to be—even if who you were meant to be is a growling, corpse-painted death metal maniac with a stolen van and a dead body in the back.

Watch it loud. Watch it with friends. And for the love of all that is heavy, don’t skip the credits. watch heavy trip

A sequel, Heavy Trip 2 (2024), has since been released, following the band as they try to escape a Russian military base after a gig gone wrong. Early reviews suggest it captures the same chaotic energy. Watch it with friends

The band’s signature song, “Heavy Trip,” is a crushing, mid-tempo death metal anthem with a riff that would make Entombed proud. When Turo finally unleashes his growl on stage, it’s powerful—not a parody. The film respects that for these characters, metal isn’t a joke; it’s their religion.

If you haven’t yet taken this trip, you’re in for a wild, corpse-painted ride. This feature covers everything you need to know: the plot, the characters, the humor, the music, and why Heavy Trip has become essential viewing for metalheads and non-metalheads alike. Directed by Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren , Heavy Trip follows Turo (Johannes Holopainen), the shy, deeply committed vocalist of a Finnish death metal band called Impaled Rektum. The band practices religiously in a reinforced underground bunker, but they’ve never performed live due to a crippling combination of stage fright, social awkwardness, and sheer bad luck.
