DVD Review Global Metal

It’s loud. It’s rebellious. It’s obnoxious. Most authority figures don’t like it, and religious leaders believe it’s the moral ruination our youth. And it is the global phenomenon commonly known as heavy metal music. Global you say, how can that be with all the countries that are so restrictive? And so many different types of music styles. That’s what Sam Dunn thought too.

Sam Dunn, anthropologist and metal head, didn’t believe it either, so after his first documentary, Metal: A Headbangers Journey, elicited a global response he decided to film another documentary to investigate just how widespread this phenomenon is. So Sam, together with director Scot McFayden, head off on a multi-country jaunt to track down heavy metal music in the most un-metal places.
