We are thrilled to announce the release of the teaser trailer for Death Reigns, a documentary highlighting the intense battle between Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Festival and the religious locals of small-town Tennessee. The teaser, which premiered at the Hub City Film Festival on September 27th, gives an early glimpse into the festival’s clash with local fundamentalists and conservative politicians. The full teaser is available now on YouTube.
Death Reigns is directed by Tennessee filmmaker Randall Kendrick, known for The Steel Garden. This documentary captures the story of Raven Moonla and Zach Moonshine, radio hosts and promoters who dared to organize an underground metal festival in a deeply religious region. Their efforts sparked outrage from local religious and political groups but also united those who felt alienated by the Bible Belt’s restrictive culture.
The film follows the trials and triumphs of the Metal Devastation Festival, shining a light on the resilience of the organizers and attendees. Through their perseverance, the festival has become a symbol of defiance and freedom in the face of cultural opposition.
Filming will continue at the 2024 Metal Devastation Music Festival, set to take place on October 5th in Jackson, Tennessee. Metal fans are encouraged to attend and become part of the crowd featured in this exciting documentary.
