What Global Metal Is About

Sam Dunn, an anthropologist and metal listener, travels to Brazil, Japan, India, Indonesia, China, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Iran to see what the genre has become outside Europe and North America. What he finds is not imitation: everywhere the music has passed through local troubles, repression and censorship and turned into something else. In some countries playing a concert or forming a band carries real risk. It follows the director's earlier metal documentary. Our record lists one director, but two made it.
