'Global Metal' Documentary Makers Interviewed By Calgary's CFEX 92.9 FM; Audio Available

CFEX 92.9 FM, "Calgary's New Rock Alternative," recently caught up with directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films Inc. — creators of the critically acclaimed, award-winning documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" — to talk about the making of their newly released follow-up film, "Global Metal". Listen to the interview in two parts below.

"Global Metal" is said to be a feature documentary that takes audiences to unexpected corners of the world — from Indonesia, Japan and China to India, Israel, Dubai and Brazil – to check out the international flavors of what turns out to be a most universal music — heavy metal.

"I guess 'Headbanger's Journey' for us was like a 101 — like a defense for metal," Dunn recently told ChartAttack.com. "Obviously, we didn't want to do something similar, like an obvious sequel that just had interviews with all the guys we didn't get to in the first film.

"We actually wanted to do something that was different, which related to the first film but could stand on its own. So looking at metal within the theme of globalization and how it has spread around the world and what it means to kids growing up in different cultures seemed like a different enough approach to take to the second film.

"We wanted to go to countries that had an interesting story about how metal had arrived and what kind of impact it made. Obviously, there were lots of countries we couldn't go to, but the ones that we chose we felt gave a broad overview of Muslim countries, Christian countries, Buddhist countries and kids growing up in different economic environments. That was important, to touch on that diversity."
