Sam Dunn is back! The dude who made arguably the best metal documentary ever, Metal: A Headbangers Journey, returns with a follow-up doc called "Global Metal" taking a look at how the scene has transcended borders and cultures and is a worldwide phenomenon. The press release reads:
In "Global Metal", directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn — the makers of the acclaimed documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" — set out to discover the impact of heavy metal on the world's cultures beyond Europe and North America. The film follows metal fan and anthropologist Sam Dunn 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, creating a new form of cultural expression in societies dominated by conflict, corruption and mass consumption.
"Global Metal" is expected to hit theaters later this spring.

Count me in! The guys are keeping busy though. They are currently on the road with IRON MAIDEN filming a behind the scenes documentary and are also developing a RUSH documentary. Lucky bastards!
