A Killer 10 Year Reunion: Deathgasm II Goremageddon’s Metal Mayhem Is Just That!

Deathgasm II Goremageddon reunites Brodie with his bandmates from beyond the grave in a louder, bloodier sequel. Its romance keeps the chaos grounded, though newcomers will need to see the first film to follow along.

Also available to stream on Apple TV beginning Oct 13

It’s been eleven long years since Deathgasm hit screens, and since then, the film has earned legendary cult status. For some fans, they wanted more and despite a long wait, we finally have a sequel. When Deathgasm II Goremageddon was made a little over a year ago and released to its crowdfunding backers, I’m sure those of us who missed out were sad.

From bashing glam metal to loving death metal, that’s a detail few will pick up on and I have to praise that kind of attention to detail by writer/director Jason Lei Howden in a movie that’s truly dedicated to the music. From its Frank Frazetta-style cut scenes of the heroes posing powerfully atop a mountain to the anime-inspired gore-fest that goes on, this movie is a gem coming out of Kiwi-land that also unleashed the vampire mockumentary What We Do In Shadows last year. I suppose more tentacles could be used, but I’m glad this film did not go down that vein.
