Metal Lords: Plot and Cast!
The Netflix movie follows a group of kids that decide to start a heavy metal band in order to make history at the lame Battle of the Bands. The trailer reveals a high school setting that we all know, but with a twist: the only two kids that are into heavy metal are trying to recruit members for their band, and that means convincing others that this musical genre is as good as any. Luckily for them, one of the possible members certainly has the heavy metal attitude they are looking for.
Also revealed by the trailer is the fact that Metal Lords might play out like a School of Rock of sorts, but this time with the kids taking into their own hands to learn the craft and history of the music style they decided to embrace. The question is, how will their parents take it? We’ll have to wait for the ultimate showdown at the Battle of the Bands to find out.
Peter Sollet, who is no stranger to telling stories about kids obsessing over obscure music styles, is the director of this film. He also directed Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, which had teenagers seeking a special and secret concert of an indie rock band. Six-time Emmy winner D.B. Weiss has penned the script for this film.
The cast of Metal Lords features Jaeden Martell, Isis Hainsworth, Adrian Greensmith, Noah Urrea, Analesa Fisher, Michelle Fang, Phelan Davis, Brett Gelman, Sufe Bradshaw, and Joe Manganiello.
