Metal - A Headbanger's Journey (2006)

Metal 101

This is the definitive metal tutorial document. Let's face it, if you're a long-time metalhead, there is practically nothing in this documentary that you don't already know. But if you have a friend looking to get into the metal scene, this is the perfect way to give them a head-start. One thing that stands out is the extra mini-documentary on Norwegian Black Metal. This is an almost-perfect DVD and I highly recommend it. September 9, 2008

Make the journey

Metal - A Headbanger's Journey is well documented and accurately, if affectionately, presented. I enjoyed it very much. You will gain an understanding of the history of metal music, as well as a good understanding of the different genres and sub genres. There are interesting interviews with metal musicians from around the world. I found the interviews with the Norwegian black metal musicians especially interesting. I highly recommend this DVD if you love metal music, and wish to understand it better. June 17, 2008

the best metal documentay ive ever seen!

Basically it covers the evolution(if thats what you want to call it) of metal over the last 40 years. theres loads of great interviews and concert footage, and some testimonies to the impact metal has had on the fans.

This documentary is great, and it actually stays entertaining and relavent after multiple views, unlike a lot of docs. you get insight from all the major subgenres and bands from Black Sabbath to those crazy black metal guys in Norway.

interviews with so many different great musicians, from Dio and Lemmy to the guys from Lamb of God.

the coolest part about this movie is the Metal Chart. it includes every subgenre you could think of, and the most well-known bands from each. now, this is one HUGE chart.. were talkin everything, from black metal, stoner metal, progressive metal, and thrash to.. classic metal, the new wave of british heavy metal, power metal, nu-metal, grindcore, death metal, melodic metal and a whole lot more.

this is the definitive metal documentary. hands down. May 10, 2008
