Former anthropologist, and now documentary maker, Sam Dunn hits the road to find out why the culture of heavy metal - one he's loved since he was twelve - has being stereotyped. We think of heavy metal and we think of sexuality, religion, violence and death and Dunn is on a quest to find if the so-called guardians of rock, the media or both are to blame. Hitting the UK, Germany, Norway, Canada and the US, Dunn conducts interviews with the richest of rock icons - Alice Cooper, Motorhead's Lemmy, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, former Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello and White Zombie's Rob Zombie. Dunn presents his documentary as a defence for the long misunderstood art form and also as an invitation to naysayers to get a glimpse into what rock is really like. But Metal: A Headbangers Journey is more than a fan's tribute as Dunn and co. present an objective viewpoint to a genre that only seems to promote bands who can out-gross each other (Slipknot and anything from Norway's death scene) rather than concentrate on delivering quality tunes. It's a brave attempt but Dunn must realise that he will be preaching to the converted and heretics are forever deaf.
