The filmmakers are seeking information from fans who are attending Desert Rock who currently live in the following countries:

Kuwait

The Palestinian Territories
Turkey
United Arab Emirates

"Global Metal" is the follow-up film to "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", which explored metal's impact and controversy over the past 35 years and featured interviews with Tony Iommi, Bruce Dickinson, Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, SLAYER, Dee Snider, ARCH ENEMY, LAMB OF GOD, CANNIBAL CORPSE, EMPEROR and many more. The two-disc DVD set was released in North America in May and includes extended interviews, an interactive metal history chart, and a mini-doc on Norwegian black metal.
