Extreme Nation, the award-winning, feature documentary film on the extreme, underground music of the Indian subcontinent has been digitally released on Vimeo’s Video on Demand and is available to watch right now!
Executive producer Abhay Singh comments:
After much contemplation, we, the producers of the film, decided to release the movie online for people to watch, especially during these testing times for humanity. The whole world is hooked on digital content and wants to know what’s happening around them, hence we decided now is the time. Vimeo On Demand is a creator-empowering platform democratizing the dissemination of relevant media to audiences and is our tool of choice for engaging with our audience.
Producer and director Roy Dipankar comments:
I have been personally talking to a few OTT platforms and agencies regarding the film for some time. However, due to too many mandates and constraints on content towards an underground film, in spite of a great international premiere and seemingly decent interest, the release got further delayed at home.
On the other hand, we’ve been receiving viewing requests every week from around the globe. Hence, without further ado, I am super excited to share this work with the fans, music, and film enthusiasts, as they’ve been patiently and ardently waiting for the film!
The 81-minute-long film features commentaries from various musicians and people involved in the extreme music scene including Bangladeshi black metal group Nafarmaan; Primitiv, Plague Throat, Syphilectomy from India; Konflict and Genocide Shrines from Sri Lanka; and Pakistani grind/hardcore punk duo Multinational Corporations.
Comments from many obscure bands, metal enthusiasts, members of the underground, and journalists, as well as internationally touring bands like Impiety (Singapore) and Cult of Fire (Czech Republic), were also documented during their bone-chilling performances.
Extreme Nation is available to watch right now here.
