It was undoubtedly the harsher sound of the 80s and early 90s; Get Thrashed relates the rise and fall of thrash metal and analyzes its impact on the grunge, nu metal and contemporary heavy metal scenes. Featuring commentary by fans, bands born and bred in the thrash metal tradition and bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeath that still proudly bear the thrash metal banner, Rick Ernst documentary sheds light on a little known but fascinating music scene recounting the transformation of an underground sound into a deafening roar that has since crept into the mainstream.
