Raven Banner Releasing has set the U.S. rollout for Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon, the blood-soaked sequel to Jason Lei Howden’s 2015 cult classic Deathgasm. The film makes its wide debut with a one-night-only theatrical event on Tuesday, September 29, screening in select Alamo Drafthouse theaters nationwide as part of the venue’s Fantastic Fest Presents program. Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon then arrives digitally for rent and purchase across Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. on October 13, with a Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD physical release to follow later in the month.
The September 29 theatrical event brings the film to Alamo Drafthouse locations in more than a dozen U.S. markets, including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Chicago, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Boston, Denver, Omaha, Raleigh and the Twin Cities.

Beginning October 13, Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon will be available to rent or purchase digitally throughout Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. on all major platforms, including iTunes, Prime Video, Google Play, Fandango at Home, Xfinity and more.
A physical media release follows later in October, with the film arriving on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD in both a Standard Edition and a Limited Edition Steelbook available via http://www.ravenbanner.store. An official street date will be announced shortly.
Raven Banner partner and producer Andrew Thomas Hunt said “Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon was built to be experienced loud, together, and on the biggest screen possible – that’s exactly what a one-night-only run with Fantastic Fest Presents and Alamo Drafthouse delivers.”
Writer-director Jason Lei Howden added; “We made this film for the misfits, the freaks, the outcasts, the headbangers, and the gorehounds. In a world divided, heavy metal and horror fans are an international family united by our passion for extreme entertainment. Deathgasm 2 is one big, brutal “HORNS UP” to that family. I’m stoked Raven Banner is getting it out there for the world to enjoy.”
Years after thwarting a demon apocalypse, Brodie finds himself unemployed, single and without ambition. But when he learns that ‘NoizeQuest’, a battle-of-the-bands competition is coming to his town, he decides to reform his heavy metal band DEATHGASM in order to find redemption and, most importantly, get his ex-girlfriend Medina back. Only problem, his drummer Giles is missing an arm, and the rest of his band is, well… dead. Thankfully Brodie still has the pages of The Black Hymn, so raising his bandmates from beyond the grave is as easy as playing a little tune…
Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon reunites stars Milo Cawthorne (Brodie) and Kimberley Crossman (Medina) from the original film, alongside returning cast members James Blake, Sam Berkley and Daniel Cresswell. The sequel introduces Kieran Charnock, Harrison Keefe, Maggie Robertson and WWE legend Adam Scherr (aka Braun Strowman) in new roles. Trivium frontman Matt Heafy composed the film’s original score, and the soundtrack features a stacked lineup of metal acts including Skinless, Havok, Chestcrush, Bulletbelt, Anvil, GWAR and more. Jason Lei Howden (Deathgasm, Guns Akimbo) returns to write and direct, with Nick Garrett, Antonio Hrynchuk and Andrew Thomas Hunt producing.
