'Metal: A Headbanger's History': The Definitive Heavy Metal Documentary

June 25, 2004

In the summer of 2005, Banger Productions will be releasing a comprehensive history of heavy metal music and culture. "We are calling on all metalheads to submit their unique and rare video footage of concerts, events, festivals and music videos," the company writes in a press release. "This is your chance to really be a part of metal history."

Filming on location in Germany, Norway, Sweden, the U.K., Canada and the
U.S., "Metal: A Headbanger's History" promises to take the viewer "on a global journey to understand the meaning of metal and its impact on society over the past 35 years. Interviews with musicians, fans, metal experts and detractors combined with rare stock footage will lead the viewer through the rich world of metal's musical highs as well as its shocking controversial lows. Accompanied by a four-CD box-set chronicling the evolution of metal music, this film will give us a unique insight into this often-misunderstood art form and will be seen as its definitive documentary for years to come."

Fans are invited to submit "a descriptive list of all available video footage and your contact information" to [email protected].
