Boasting a soundtrack of ’80s/’90s headbanging classics, Icelandic director Ragnar Bragason‘s intense drama METALHEAD will be available On Demand starting April 3. Distributed by Cinelicious Pics, the VOD release will arrive shortly after a handful of special screenings are held nationwide, including at New York’s Cinema Village (March 20-26) and Los Angeles’ Laemmle NoHo 7 (March 27 – April 2) along with Seattle’s SIFF Uptown Theatre (Feb. 27 – March 1) and Portland’s Hollywood Theatre (April 10 – 16). The movie will be shown in eight cities (with more to be announced soon).

“Metalhead” was the winner of eight awards at the 2014 Icelandic Film Awards (including “Best Actress”, “Best Supporting Actor” and “Actress”, and “Original Score” by noted Icelandic musician Petur Ben). It received rave reviews during the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, as well as during a special screening held at the 2014 CMJ Music Marathon in New York.

‘Metalhead’ is a very personal piece of my filmography,” declares Bragason. “It grew out of my collective love for film and metal music, which was something I grew up listening to and has been a lifelong passion of mine. I sincerely hope that the U.S audience, both fans of film and music can find in it something to love and identify with.”
