Le vieux groupe de US metal mené par Tom Gattis (Deuce, Ballistic) fait son Anvil en sortant un documentaire sur son histoire depuis 1978. Pas certain que cela rencontre autant de succès...
On May 6th at the Desert Rocks Film and Music Event in Victorville, CA, Tension: 25 Years Underground - the newly produced heavy metal documentary by Rudy Childs - was the winner in the Rock n Roll Sidebar category for the festival’s best rock n roll documentary.
The competition was fierce with films from around the globe and from different genres such as a U2 fan's documentary, the United Kingdom’s Subsource, San Francisco’s golden age of music from the 60’s, Australia’s Maltese Falcon and the very popular Band New from New York. But in the end it was Tension: 25 Years Underground that took home the gold. It was a very exciting moment for Rudy Childs and the rest of the TENSION band who just finished playing to metal heads at their first ever gig in Germany at the sold out Keep It True Festival. The band is planning their keep their latest trend of success alive and will be performing on the east coast at the yet to be announced festival Heavy Metal Picnic 2 this fall, the show is follow up to the 1985 underground party that was later turned into a film by Jeff Krulik and John Hyen of Heavy Metal Parking Lot cult fame.
Tension: 25 Years Underground takes us back to 1978 when teenagers Tom Gattis and Marty Friedman met and formed the rock band DEUCE (later known as Tension). These kids cranked out a style of music emerging from a punk-inspired rock ‘n roll, into classic metal at a time when that genre of music was just beginning to find an audience of rock fans.
Tension: 25 Years Underground chronologically takes us through the entire decade of the band’s existence. The film also touches the subjects of rock culture, music, censorship, and other topics important to the band and all their devoted followers. The whole material is supplemented by some fresh interviews, some music and vintage concert footage.
With this film, the legacy of Tension lives on.
I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun
Colors bleed but never fade
