Story Plot

Dive into the chaotic, absurd, and unapologetic life of Seth Putnam, the controversial frontman of the grindcore band Anal Ct, in this gritty and darkly humorous biopic miniseries. Scream Until You Laugh chronicles the rise, fall, and eventual legacy of one of the most polarizing figures in underground music. From his suburban upbringing in Newton, Massachusetts, to his meteoric rise in the extreme metal scene, the series explores Putnam's audacious approach to music and life. Known for his abrasive lyrics, chaotic live performances, and outrageous stunts, Seth’s story is a tale of self-destruction, rebellion, and the blurred line between performance art and personal demons. The miniseries captures Seth’s infamous antics, his role in shaping the grindcore genre, and his tumultuous relationships with bandmates, fans, and the music industry. While his music and persona shocked and alienated many, Seth’s dark humor and unapologetic nature resonated deeply with others who saw him as a raw, unfiltered voice in a sanitized world.
