The documentary A History Of A Time To Come based on the history of the UK thrash movement has begun the editing process of the film at Prime Studios in Leeds, UK.

The film wrapped production last month.

Director Joshua Callis-Smith commented: “It’s a great feeling to be finally in the edit looking over everything we’ve shot over the last year, during the process all the interviews and 80 plus hours of footage will be pulled together to create what is effectively the film. The aim is to have a rough cut within the next two weeks so we can really start to play about with the structure and graphics we want to put in the film”

The editing process will take place over the next three months before the film moves into the grading, visual effect and sound mix stages with a likely release for the end of this year.

The film covers the complete story of the UK thrash metal scene – its ups, its downs and its impact on the UK and global music industry. The project plans to pull together and uncover the full story of the UK thrash scene, from its roots in the mid-80s until the present day.

UK music journalist Greg Moffitt is currently writing a book entitled One Foot in the Gravy as a companion piece to the film, the book will expand the narrative, adding layers of detail and exploring in greater depth the development, decline and eventual re-emergence of UK thrash.

Sneak peeks and new trailers will be released as well as more content will be added to the website and possibly even some never before seen content over the next six months.
