Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005)


This documentary is a look into the culture created by heavy metal music and its impact on the world.

The documentary is directed and starring Sam Dunn, an Anthropology major and life long Metal Head. On a quest understand the genre and what makes it so popular and important in the lives of millions.

There were some odd moments to mainly because In My Opinion the whole goth, chains, dark and piercings look is a joke and a posers representation of metal. That people need to look in the mirror and see how ridiculous they look.

There was also a rather strange interview with some members of the band "Mayhem" which was nothing more than just a curse laden "piss off" and "Fuck you" rant towards society. Which taught me that if you ever need to interview someone, make sure they are sober.

It was nice to hear different odd stories from some of the world's best bands. Although my favorite bands were notably absent =(. But I really struggled to see a point in the documentary overall. So the only real reason to watch this is to see some of your favorite bands and learn about some of the things they've experienced.
