Sam Dunn’s respected metal documentaries have made him a figure in the metal, rock and music scene in general.

His filmography so far:

2005 Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey
2008 Global Metal
2009 Iron Maiden: Flight 666
2009 Joe Bonamassa:Live From the Royal Albert Hall
2010 Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage

And now there’s a VH1 Classic series!

Metal Evolution, as described by Blabbermouth, is “the ultimate examination into the history of heavy metal music.” If you love metal, are just getting into some of the genres, or are any sort of music lover, no doubt this series will give insight into the world of metal for new and old followers alike.

Watching the first episode, I can easily say this series puts to rest several of the stereotypes people have about metal and those a part of it. I highly recommend this, as well as Mr. Dunn’s first documentary, Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey, which is where Metal Evolution has its roots. Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey is on DVD through Netflix.

A new episode of Metal Evolution premieres every Saturday at 10PM EST on VH1 Classic. There are 11 episodes in the series.
