Synopsis
Professional anthropologist and rabid heavy-metal fan Sam Dunn devoted himself to making the most complete portrait of the heavy metal scene every created; the result, METAL, A HEADBANGER'S JOURNEY, is a resounding success. Mixing his academic eye with his personal love for the genre, Dunn travels from the clubs of Sunset Boulevard to the dark forests of Norway in an attempt to understand the ongoing phenomenon of metal music. He tackles subjects of sexuality, religion, violence, and death, and talks to some of the superstars of the metal world, including Tony Iomii of Black Sabbath, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Lemmy of Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, and the members of Slipknot and Cannibal Corpse (whose albums have been banned in Australia). The highly engaging film provides fascinating history and insight for viewers unfamiliar with metal music while simultaneously offering up essential viewing for metalhead fanatics.

BURN TO BLACK
MACH 666 (2006)
224 KBPS

Old school thrash with black-ish vocals. Comparisons with Alastor from Portugal are inevitable, but Burn To Black adhere to some death metal elements at times, and their sound as a whole has more punch. Another closer soundalike would perhaps be the Dutch Occult. Although this sub-genre has started to fill up with bands recently, Burn To Black have no reasons to worry. Sam Dunn (the brains behind the documentary above) plays bass in the band.
