Gama Bomb - Survival of the Fastest

1h 12m • Documentary, Music, Irish Film • 2024

When their seventh album Sea Savage hit the American Billboard charts, cult Irish thrash band Gama Bomb were trapped by lockdowns, missing a drummer, and unable to tour.

What followed is chaos and comedy across the UK and Europe with the mission to make it to Hellfest — the Glastonbury of Metal.

This award-winning documentary from director Kiran Acharya and producer Sara Gunn-Smith has been celebrated as “a sweet tale of decades-long friendship” and “not what you expect from a metal band”.

Survival Of The Fastest is a sharp, sweet, and absurdly funny riff on classic music documentaries like Anvil! and Spinal Tap, with a heartwarming portrait of male friendship at its core.
