Today, German thrashers Godslave release a documentary film to mark the band’s 15th anniversary. The movie is called Hinter der Kulisse – ein Blick in die Seele einer Metalband (English: “Behind the Scenes – A Look Into the Soul of a Metal Band”), and can be watched HERE in German with English subtitles.
2024 is a special year for the guys from Godslave in Saarbrücken: they are celebrating their 15th birthday, which almost didn’t happen… The 15 years have been hard-earned, and that should be celebrated!
In their own documentary, Hinter der Kulisse – the relentlessly honest look at the people behind the metal band Godslave – when the common dream, for which you have bled so much, threatens to fail…what do you do then?
A documentary that takes you behind the scenes of Godslave: unpleasant, grueling, relentlessly honest! A documentary that shows what otherwise remains hidden: the people behind the musicians, who are happy, who suffer, who can no longer but still want to! A documentary deliberately without glitz & glamour – about brotherhood and humanity!
This documentary is a vehement statement in favor of an empathetic approach to mental health in the metal scene; the five musicians lay their souls and their vulnerability on the table for all to see. Only within the band they were often not so open with each other, and that almost cost them their common dream…
Godslave want to make a contribution to metal musicians being more open with each other and thus being able to maintain their shared passion – with a lot of joy in the music and the community. At the same time, Godslave also show all fans the struggles that have to be fought behind the scenes to make a CD or a show possible in the first place.
The documentary and further information on what Godslave will be releasing as part of their birthday celebrations can also be found at www.godslave.de/15years.
