H8000 – DVD

H8000 is a household name in hardcore and punk worldwide. Documented on this DVD for the very first time in vivid detail, to prevent the memories from evaporating as time flies by. This historical scene report chronicles the H8000 hardcore heydays, the alpha and omega of a small but enthusiastic scene. Spanning a full decade brimming with sheer energy and dedication, this documentary brings you the story of an underground phenomenon that clashed with mainstream society and was often misunderstood, even within its own group of peers. Brash, aggressive but brutally honest and pure, this unique movement revolved around a circle of friends doing something they felt they needed to do. Something that, at a certain point, just blew out of proportion in a natural way. Relive the vibe of a vibrant subculture that lived drug-free, meat-free and basically did it all themselves - from booking their own shows and tours to releasing their own records and literature.

More than 25 years down the line, h8000 proves to be one of the most significant exponents ever to emerge from Belgian youth culture. Its spirit and influence still linger on.
