**_Dynamic documentary on the first 25 years of thrash metal_** “Get Thrashed” does an excellent job detailing the history of thrash and other offshoots of metal up to the time of its release in 2006. Generally speaking, thrash combined the double bass drumming and complex guitar riffing of NWOBHM bands (including Priest and Maiden) and fused it with the aggression and speed of punk/hardcore along with the technicality of prog bands. The documentary relays all of this in a very energetic fashion, including references to the most prominent bands, along with myriad commentators. “The Big Four” are, of course, noted at length, but myriad “second tier” bands are acknowledged, like Overkill, Death Angel, Forbidden, Sepultura, Hirax, Kreator, Sodom and Anvil. Hardcore bands are also recognized, like Cro-Mags, as well as the later bands that were heavily influenced by thrash. Of course, there are some omissions, such as Bathory (especially HAMMERHEART, not that early drek), but what’s packed-in here is very impressive and entertaining. Sepultura is fittingly acknowledged and I'm glad that the Derrick Green/Andreas Kisser form of the band is interviewed twice because this is easily the best version of the group, as observed in excellent albums like NATION, A-LEX and MACHINE MESSIAH, et al. The original drummer of Overkill, Rat Skates (who had a LOT to do with establishing the band up through their first two albums) was heavily involved in the behind-the-scenes production. Meanwhile singer Bobby Blitz Ellsworth appears frequently as a commentator. The original guitarist of their first four albums, Bobby Gustafson, also appears. (I, incidentally, thought Overkill improved after those albums, with excellent releases like THE KILLING KIND, FROM THE UNDERGROUND AND BELOW and KILLBOX 13, even I HEAR BLACK and WFO). You’ll hear a relatively unknown song a couple of times with a chorus that goes “Thrash, thrash, thrash… Thrill, thrill, thrill… Mosh, mosh, mosh.” This is by the obscure Swedish band The Law and the song is called “Anthem” (with a 1.5 minutes intro called "Lawman & the Law"). You can hear it on Youtube, if interested. The band independently released the song in 2004 and 2006, which explains how it was available for this 2006 documentary. They included it on their only 2008 full-length album and that's the last anyone's heard of the band, except for two singles in 2010. The film runs 1 hour, 40 minutes. GRADE: A

The concert begins with acoustic instruments; during the course of the show more and more electric elements are added. The mixture of an organic sound and heavier electric elements works fantastically well! The stage setup is interesting, too. There is neither a wall nor a curtain behind the band but a large hall – the band are apparently playing into the backstage area. An interesting quirk.
