Metal: Evolution

Post by Obi-Wan Nihilo »

Anyone else addicted to this anthropological dissection of the heavy metal movement? The thrash episode was un-freaking-believable. Hopefully they can keep it going for another season.

thanks to the show i discovered a love for Swedish Death Metal... my favorite band? -

Arch Enemy - My Apocolypse

i find the show to be both informative and entertaining.

Totally agree sarge... I watched all the shows I'd missed tonight:

Pre-metal and Early US Metal were extremely interesting shows, I must say.

They won't let you watch episode 4, new wave of British Heavy Metal, for some reason. Thankfully I already saw it. And yes, I've been watching That Metal Show for a while now myself, and have experienced much the same thing in terms of a renewed interest in heavy music.

The Power Metal episode was pretty darn cool too, though some of the sub-genres ('Pirate Metal') are pretty close to silly. I wonder if they'll do black and death metal next season.

By the way, I'm assuming you've seen Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (the documentary that is the foundation for the TV show), but if you haven't, you really ought to.

saw it, loved it. Pirate metal does seem silly. I am also hoping he does an episode for all the other genres he mapped out.

I started watching "That Metal Show" a few months ago. It's very entertaining and informative! I discovered Buckcherry through the show and I'm a big fan now.

Thanks for the rec of Metal: Evolution. I'll try to catch re-runs.
