Heavy Metal: Louder Than Life [2 Discs]

For decades heavy metal has served as the rebellious, establishment-shaking, red-headed stepchild of the music industry; yet despite continued derision by critics who are quick to write it off as little more than a passable genre of juvenile angst, heavy metal continues to grow and evolve as it maintains a steady, and unwaveringly loyal, fan-base. In this documentary, director Dick Carruthers and producer Jim Parsons gaze into the black heart of the heavy metal universe to explore the emotion and power that drives it, and explore why this particular style of music continues to remain misunderstood by the masses while slowly but surely edging its way into the mainstream.
