From high school through graduate studies, Sam Dunn has had a passion for screaming guitars, blinding pyrotechnics and blown-out eardrums. In this doc, Dunn is joined by co-directors Scot McFadyen and Jessica Joy Wise to set forth on a mission to glean the riotous rhyme and reason of metal. An often vilified genre, metal has always maintained its rabid international following, whether in or out of the mainstream spotlight. Journeying through America and Europe, following tours and attending open-air metal fests, the filmmakers document people's opinions about the scene. Fans weigh in, as well as metal gods including Rush's Geddy Lee, Ronnie James Dio, Alice Cooper, Motörhead's Lemmy, musician and horror icon Rob Zombie, Mötley Cr�*e's Vince Neil and Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson.
