THE BEAST

Movie Total Thrash – The Teutonic Story gets special screening in Hollywood on July 30th presented by Thunderflix

Director Daniel and guests will be part of a very special Thrash Metal

Night in Montalbán Theatre and Rainbow Bar, LA

For movie maker Daniel Hofmann from Germany, Thrash Metal means being able to escape from everyday life and simply forgetting everything in front of the stage and letting the hell out with the best people in the world. After the great success of his documentary “Total Thrash – The Teutonic Story” over last year in Germany, it's about time to bring this movie and the history of the “Teutonic Thrash Metal” all over the world. It sounded bumpy, hard and somehow not finished. It should be fast and dark. Heavier than any band that existed back then. Nobody could play any instrument at the beginning; you learned that along the way. Concerts were organized, records were exchanged and the scene continued to develop in Germany. At the end of the 80s there were first international tours with friends from the USA and other countries. To this day, thrash metal consistently enjoys an international reputation like almost no other genre. The documentary “Total Thrash – The Teutonic Story” delves into the social and cultural world of some young people in the 80s and shows a generation that wanted to break out of the existing structures, be different and stand out. One found refuge in the hard and fast music and in the role models of the time. But the movie is more than this – it is a breathtaking
journey through 40 years of German Thrash metal and you could see bands like Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and many more growing up till today.

The film shows the development of the scene genre “Thrash Metal” especially in Germany in relation to bands, organizers and fans and offers the viewer a journey through three chapters to the present day. The focus is on exclusive insights into a special and extraordinary fan culture that originated in the Ruhr area and still connects people from all over the country and worldwide. After a sold-out world premiere with 1200 people in the largest cinema in Europe (Lichtburg Essen) and a total of 35 other cinema dates (most of them Sold out) in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2022 and a very successful retail sale over the last months, the movie now gets finally the first and exclusive event in Hollywood, LA.
