Metal: A Headbanger's Journey

My first movie review which happen to be a great documentary about heavy metal which talk about everything the stereotype,the fans,and every thing you can think of to me one of the best heavy metal documentary that i ever watched. If you don't like the documentary then leave and remember IT MY OPINON NOT YOUR but i would love to hear your opinion.

So let get started this documentary talks about how heavy metal is everywhere and how it evolved over the years from bands like black sabbath, judas priest, to Kreator slayer lamb of god andy many more. To mine opinion this documentary will open a lot of people who always claimed metal to be evil. Don't get me wrong they may be some band SOME BAND that goes extreme measure on stage to give metal a band name but it should open some eyes. During this movie you will see through the eyes of sam dunn as he take a journey from Wacken, New York, Norway, and many more to see how most metal genre made an impact throughout the world and even the norwegian black metal scene. 


(The rest is just copy and paste that i did on microsoft word too lazy to retype the rest)
Throughout this film Sam Dunn delves into a lot of cultural aspects of metal. Tons of different artists are interviewed, including Bruce Dickinson , Tony Iommi , Ronnie James Dio (r.i.p), Rob Zombie, Dee Snider , Lemmy  and many more. Dunn is a knowledgeable and sometimes amusing host, and filming it using him as the onscreen narrator makes it more entertaining and personal.
The DVD also has some fantastic extras. There is a family tree of metal that examines the various genres and subgenres and ties them all together. There are also extended artist interviews, a behind the scenes travelogue, and another documentary. After the film was released in theaters the Norwegian black metal section caused some controversy, especially in Norway. They went back and did more interviews, and the result is a 25 minute documentary focusing exclusively on Norwegian black metal.
This DVD is a must-own for all metal fans, and it's also interesting for non-metal fans. It's a great DVD to show to people to explain why you love metal. It's both entertaining and educational.
