Sam Dunn is probably one of those characters that any Heavy Metal fanatic, irrespective of sub-genre preferences, should be aware of. Creator of the acclaimed documentaries “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey” and “Global Metal”, that encompassed the Heavy Metal familia across different cultures, in all corners of the planet, “Metal Evolution” was started in order to satiate the massive positive feedback generated in the wake of MAHJ. Global Metal addresses the topic of the “Heavy Metal family tree” that was also made popular by MAHJ.
Metal Evolution has aired an extensive trailer of the “Lost Episode” which covers some co-Director Dunn’s favourite sub-genres, ie., Death Metal, Grindcore and Black Metal. The episode is a resultant of massive fan appeal and extensive fundraisers. The following message was issued on the initiative’s website, by the creators:
