Turo leads the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum, who hope to perform at a Norwegian metal festival. Only overblown expectations and Turo's stage fright stand in the way of these four friends. This Finnish comedy about a symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan fennoscandian metal band starts as a rather conventional story about a clash between big dreams and small-town small-mindedness. However, the second half really lets loose and the climactic trip to Norway is hilarious. Followed by Heavier Trip.
