Metal Lords (dir. Peter Sollett, 2022) - Two high schoolers attempt to complete their death metal band with a cellist ahead of the upcoming Battle of the Bands.
In 2003, the School of Rock made its name.

Despite his initial self-serving intention to win the Battle of the Bands, he soon inadvertently brought out the best in them. The coming-of-age masterwork remains celebrated almost 2 decades later today, cementing its place as an all-time best for many.
At first glance, Metal Lords seems to mirror the Richard Linklater film like a spiritual sequel, only for a heavier genre.
