O muito aguardado documentário "Global Metal" vai sair em DVD a 4 de Novembro. Neste documentário os realizadores
Scot McFadyen e
Sam Dunn (realizadores de "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey") vão à descoberta do impacto do Heavy Metal nas culturas mundiais.
O filme segue o fa de metal e antropologo Sam Dunn numa viagem através da Asia, America do Sul e Médio Oriente onde ele explora as cenas da musica extrema, desde o death metal indonesio até ao black metal chinês, passando pelo thrash iraniano.
"GLOBAL METAL" revela uma comunidade de metalheads que não só absorvem as ondas metaleiras do Ocidente, mas também as transformam, criando uma nova forma de expressão cultural em sociedades dominadas pelo conflito, pela corrupção e consumo em massa.
"I guess
'Headbanger's Journey' for us was like a 101 — like a defense for metal,"
Dunn recently told
ChartAttack.com. "Obviously, we didn't want to do something similar, like an obvious sequel that just had interviews with all the guys we didn't get to in the first film.
"We actually wanted to do something that was different, which related to the first film but could stand on its own. So looking at metal within the theme of globalization and how it has spread around the world and what it means to kids growing up in different cultures seemed like a different enough approach to take to the second film.
"We wanted to go to countries that had an interesting story about how metal had arrived and what kind of impact it made. Obviously, there were lots of countries we couldn't go to, but the ones that we chose we felt gave a broad overview of Muslim countries, Christian countries, Buddhist countries and kids growing up in different economic environments. That was important, to touch on that diversity."
