Heavy Trip (Finnish: Hevi reissu, Swedish: En heavy resa) is a Finnish comedy film released in 2018, directed by first-time directors Jukka Vidgren and Juuso Laatio. The comedy tells the story of a small-town heavy metal band's journey to their dream gig in Norway. The movie satirizes heavy metal tropes (a la Metalocalypse and This Is Spinal Tap), with a focus on those relevant to the Finnish and Scandinavian metal scene. Heavy Trip was first released in Finland on 9 March 2018, followed the very next day by screenings in the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, the very next day, garnering mixed to positive reception from audiences and critics. The original songs performed in the movie by the band "Impaled Rektum" were composed by Mika Lammassaari, the guitarist of Mors Subita. Eemeli Bodde of Mors Subita provides the vocals for these songs. The rest of the movie's soundtrack was composed by Lauri Porra. The sequel to the film, Heavier Trip, is set to be released in theaters in the fall of 2024. Many similarities exist with the French movie Pop Redemption released in 2013, however the relation between both films is unclear. ()

About Heavy Trip

Turo is stuck in a small village and the best thing in his life is being the lead vocalist for the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum. He and his bandmates have practiced for 12 years without playing a single gig. The guys get a surprise visitor from Norway -- the promoter for a huge heavy metal music festival -- and decide it's now or never. They steal a van, a corpse, and even a new drummer to make their dreams a reality.
