Torin F @nonlinearize 11/19/2023 MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW joyfully chronicles the Bay Area thrash metal scene of the 1980s, enlisting both fans and bands to tell the tale. Much like Seattle grunge, the story of Bay Area thrash is that of a devoted local DIY scene incubating a vibrant new sound/style that later swept the globe. It's a rare and magical thing, something to be celebrated. Which this docu does very well, though I would've loved a little more focus on the breakout period of the early 1990s, when Metallica's Black album and others took the world by storm. Rock on!

Temporarily pauses the fun to acknowledge some of the genre’s fallen heroes. #nitrosMovieChallenge See more 03/15/2021 It's hard to imagine a more definitive document of the bay area thrash metal scene than Murder in the Front Row. Gives a real sense of what it must have been like to have been there at birth of thrash, before bands like Metallica and Megadeth were household names. See more Read all reviews
