Now Streaming: Death Reigns , the Film They Tried to Stop

Some stories are too loud to ignore.

Death Reigns is the first documentary to take viewers deep into the underground metal scene of the American Bible Belt — a place where heavy music isn’t just unpopular, it’s treated like a threat.

At the heart of the story are radio hosts Raven Moonla and Zach Moonshine, two relentless metalheads on a mission to build something real in a place that wants it buried. Their goal: organize the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest , a completely grassroots festival built from passion, community, and zero industry backing.

As the community grows louder, pushback intensifies. Far-right religious activists mobilize to shut the festival down, igniting a tense battle between outsiders striving to create space and forces determined to erase them.

Death Reigns goes far beyond the music. It captures the exhaustion, the triumphs, the threats, the late-night planning, and the unwavering resilience of a culture that refuses to die. This is a raw, personal portrait of what happens when metal becomes more than entertainment — when it becomes identity, rebellion, and survival.

Critics are calling it one of the most important underground metal documentaries in years.
