TRAILER: Metallica, Slayer, More Look Back on Bay Area Thrash in ‘Murder in the Front Row’

Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter March 21st, 2019

Any fan of the now legendary ’80s trash metal that emerged from the San Francisco Bay-area will need to check out this new documentary trailer.

Murder in the Front Row, based on the book of the same title, features new interviews from the scene’s biggest names including Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, Death Angel, Possessed and many more!

The film is set to premiere at the AMC Kabuki 8 theater in San Francisco on April 20. So far, a distribution deal hasn’t been announced. Considered all of the names in MITFR, it’s unlikely the doc won’t find any interested parties for the film’s distribution rights.

In the early 1980's, a small group of dedicated Bay Area headbangers shunned the hard rock of MTV and Hollywood hairspray bands in favor of a more dangerous brand of metal that became known as thrash!
