A compelling documentary that delves into heavy metal's history and culture, offering insightful interviews and a passionate exploration.
A necessity for anyone who is into metal, explores many subgenres accurately. Wish they had expanded on some more, but still a good watch.
One of the most meticulous music docs. Even if you're not a metal fan, it will impress upon you an importance of the genre.
A great look into the massive world of metal and it’s most popular sub genres.
Sam Dunn killed it with this. Goosebumps at the end every time.
Sam Dunn is a good reporter and tries to remain unbiased whilst exploring and explaining in detail the subgenres of metal. Good fun 🤟
A good bio gives you the beginnings of heavy metal music, right up to today's, and beyond metal scene. Some odd stuff in here. A good watch.
Mildly entertaining for fans of the various metal genres, but biased and superficial in its examination of the culture
A bit insides against the genre and pretended not to be. That said interesting film.
This and its sequel Global Metal are excellent introductions to the genre. Pair with Wacken.
