The critically acclaimed music documentary Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal Featured is featured in a new article from The Seattle Weekly, which takes a look at the metal's resurgence in 2008. An excerpt from the story appears below.

"Perennial popularity aside, 2008 was an exceptionally fruitful year for metal. National acts like Torche, Mastodon, and Isis won legions of new fans, as did The Sword, who snagged the indisputably career-propelling opening slot on Metallica's most recent world tour. Several impressively researched documentaries on the genre hit theaters and shelves (most notable of the bunch being Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal), and after months of running exhaustive metal-related programming, VH1 realized they had a big enough audience to create That Metal Show, a weekly television talk show on the subject. Even the hipster-centric, metacritic-driven 33 1/3 book series released a volume examining Slayer's 1986 opus, Reign in Blood."
