The makers of ‘Metal - A Headbangers Journey’ go on a global hunt for the emerging metal scenes across the world.
How has heavy metal impacted the world’s cultures beyond Europe and North America? Metal fan and anthropologist Sam Dun goes on a whirlwind journey through Asia, South America and the Middle East as he explores the underbelly of the world’s emerging extreme music scenes. From Indonesian death metal to Chinese black metal to Iranian thrash metal, Global Metal reveals a worldwide community of metalheads who aren’t just absorbing metal from the West - they’re transforming it. They are creating a new form of cultural expression in societies dominated by conflict, corruption and mass-consumerism.
