Rise of L.A. Thrash Metal, the third title in the Inside Metal series, will be premiered at the Regency Valley Plaza 6 Theater in North Hollywood, California on Monday, June 19th at 7 PM. This is the only screening date that is scheduled and organizers have set aside a limited number of tickets available to the public.

Rise of L.A. Thrash Metal will be available on DVD and major streaming outlets late this summer through MetalRock Films as a 2-part DVD.

Hard Rock & Metal and L.A. Metal Scene Explodes - (All are 2-volume DVDs available for streaming and airing on select cable channels). The forth Inside Metal title will be on the Bay Area Metal Scene of the ‘80s and it’s currently in the editing stages and planned for an early 2018 release.

Rise of L.A. Thrash Metal was directed by Bob Nalbandian with narration by David Ellefson of Megadeth. Produced by Bob Nalbandian, Carl Alvarez and Joe Floyd, executive producer Warren Croyle and edited by Curtis Don Vito.
