Since it arrived in the 70's Metal has been the most enduring form of popular music culture the world has known. Rumored to have died it is of course undead, and continues to mutate and infiltrate . . . This documentary is a considered look at the continuing story of Metal, in the words of the people that make it, live it, breathe it and keep it vital. What makes it tick, why nothing else can touch it for power, emotion and longevity, why it's misunderstood, why it doesn't care, how it continues to upset the establishment, how it manipulates the media, the positivity, and the way it has forced its iconography and ethos deep into an unsuspecting and unwilling mainstream. Created by award winning duo Director Dick Carruthers (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The White Stipes) and Producer Jim Parsons (MTV Headbangers' Ball. New Kings of Rock `n' Roll, Re:covered) Heavy Metal is a long overdue film that unravels the music, the myths and the madness..
