A new teen comedy film from the co-creator of Game of Thrones is coming to Netflix soon. Metal Lords sees two teenage misfits, Hunter and Kevin, team up in a bid to win a Battle of the Bands competition.
The two kids decide to start a heavy metal band in their high school - where they are the only two kids who care about heavy metal. With schoolmates more interested in Bieber than Black Sabbath, finding a bassist is a struggle - until Kevin overhears Emily playing her cello.

“I played in a band in high school, and when you do that, there’s a comic discrepancy between how important what you’re doing seems to you and how important what you’re doing looks to anyone outside yourself — which is not important at all.
