The Finnish cult band Impaled Rektum, also known as “The world’s most dangerous metal band”, finds itself in a difficult situation – or to be more precise: in Norwegian jail! It is therefore with a heavy heart that they have to turn down the offer to perform at the world’s biggest open-air metal festival in Wacken. But when the guitarist’s father falls seriously ill and the family’s house and slaughterhouse are on the brink of ruin, it’s time for Impaled Rektum to rise up again: The four guys decide to break out of prison and solve all their financial problems with a gig at W.O.A.. On their road trip to Wacken, the boys meet their idols (the ageing metal band “Bloodmotor”), have to stand up to the diabolical record label boss Fisto (Anatol Taubman) and are pursued by a dangerous prison warden. But the biggest challenge for the band is to stick together in the midst of all this madness …

“Heavier Trip – Road To Wacken “is a production of the Finnish MAKING MOVIES in co-production with Hamburg’s HEIMATHAFEN FILM and the support of the Finnnish Film Foundation and MV Filmförderung, among others. The crazy action comedy took the crew 35 days of filming from Finland to Lithuania to Rostock – and of course to Wacken, where the film’s finale was shot during the Wacken Open Air Festival 2023.
