HUSS! Stabbed in the Face follows the journey of Eat the Turnbuckle; an extreme deathmatch wrestling metal band formed in Philadelphia in 2012. This documentary chronicles the band’s chance formation, through their blood-soaked climb up the ladder of success, to their chaotic end following their performance at Wacken Open Air in Germany. Broken bones accrued, gallons of blood were spilt, and raw, unadulterated chaos ensued before the eyes of unsuspecting music fans throughout the 5 years of the band’s existence.
On-stage, we see close-up accounts of brutal violence across the US and Europe; off-stage, we see the inner workings of metal’s most unorthodox musical act. Birthed in the underground metal scene, Eat the Turnbuckle consisted of Jag13, El-Shlako, Chubb Rock, Captain Hook, Beerdust, and The Gorgeous One. In the spirit of GG Allin and other underground punk and metal bands, Eat the Turnbuckle cultivated an art form that changed the face of underground music and independent wrestling. Now they have gathered to tell their story in their own words.
