Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Get Thrashed is a stunning documentary about the history of Thrash Metal. Featuring great interviews with many of the bands involved in creating the genre, this is a must see and highly entertaining documentary about one of the most extreme types of heavy metal music there ever way. The film takes a look at the founding of Thrash metal from the early days of Metallica, Anthrax, Exodus, Slayer and Megadeth right up to the cross over thrash bands like Suicidal Tendencies. In depth, and enjoyable, the documentary is a well crafted look at the rise of Thrash, right up to its inception to its downfall at the outcome of Grunge.
