After 12 years of not playing any shows, metal band Impaled Rektum hit the road to play their first big hit, but saying things don't go exactly as planned is an understatement. From Doppelganger Releasing and Bloody Disgusting comes Heavy Trip, which is set to be released on DVD on November 13th. For those that don't want to wait until November, Heavy Trip is now available on VOD. If you'd like to learn more, don't forget to check out our exclusive clips and Heather's 4/5 review for the movie we'd highly recommend Daily Dead readers check out.
"In "HEAVY TRIP" Turo (Johannes Holopainen) is stuck in a small village in the Finnish countryside where his greatest passion is being the lead vocalist for the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum. The only problem is that he and his fellow headbangers have practiced for 12 years without playing a single gig. But that’s all about to change when the guys meet the promoter of a huge heavy metal music festival in Norway and decide it’s now or never. Hitting the road in a stolen van with a corpse, a coffin, and a new drummer from a local mental hospital in tow, Impaled Rektum travels across Scandinavia to make their dreams a reality.

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
