Metal Anarchy

A new trailer has been released for the new Netflix movie “Metal Lords,” which is set to debut on April 8. The coming-of-age metal comedy was written by D.B. Weiss, who produced the film alongside Greg Shapiro. Weiss’ fellow “Game Of Thrones” showrunner David Benioff and Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello also served as executive producers on the film. The movie was directed by Peter Sollett (“Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist”) and it stars Jaeden Martell (“Knives Out”, “It”), Isis Hainsworth (“Misbehaviour”, “Emma”), and Adrian Greensmith.

Morello told Billboard the following:

“I grew up in a small, cloistered, conservative suburb where my musical tastes ran against the grain of almost everybody else in school and certainly all of the teachers, so this is something I can very much relate to. It’s a story of kids trying to get their first band together and having a dream, but perhaps not having the technical ability or the artistic vision to make that dream real. Or do they?

For me, it harmonizes in a lot of ways with the real story of so many kids who are locked in these suburban hells and the key to get out is an electric guitar or drums or rock and roll music. The music shows a way to transcend this stifled daily existence, to try to be something better, be something more authentic and true than what’s handed to you by your surroundings.”
