ITP V.012 METAL AT THE MOVIES PART 9: Metal Evolution: Extreme Metal 'The Lost Episode'

Sam Dunn (BANGER FILMS), producer of the VH1 metal series METAL EVOLUTION is appealing to the metal masses as BANGER FILMS are adding a DEATH and BLACK metal (EXTREME METAL) segment to the unfinished series, by extreme metal fan demand.
Sam Dunn, a Canadian Anthropology major wrote his thesis on metal culture as that study inspired three cult classic metal documentaries:
"METAL A HEADBANGERS JOURNEY", "GLOBAL METAL" and the VH1 series "METAL EVOLUTION".

FROM METAL EVOLUTION:

In 2011 Banger Films released the biggest-ever series on the history of heavy metal and hard rock, Metal Evolution. Based on Banger’s groundbreaking “Heavy Metal Family Tree,” the series explored over 40 years of metal history - from Early Metal and Shock Rock to Thrash and Nu Metal. Following metalhead-turned-anthropologist Sam Dunn, Metal Evolution took viewers on an unprecedented journey to over 30 countries on 4 continents to interview 300 of metal’s most respected musicians including Alice Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Slash, Lemmy, Lars Ulrich, Tom Morello and members of Van Halen, Deep Purple, Slayer, Lamb of God and many more. The series was a huge success, hitting #1 on VH1 Classic (US) and MuchMore (Canada), and broadcasting on networks in the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Brazil, India and elsewhere.

Despite this success, metal fans around the world claimed there was one glaring gap in the series: There was no episode on metal’s most underground sub-genre: Extreme Metal...

“Are you guys going to do anything on death metal & black metal?” Darrin Marc Gindratt - February 02, via Facebook

“@BangerFilmsInc Hey Sam! How do I get the black and death episodes of the series?? Thanks!” J_A_Ramondetta - April 17, via Twitter

“So there's gonna be a second season of Metal Evolution, right? You still need to cover Black Metal, Death Metal, and Grindcore, among others.” Andy Boyle - February 08, via Facebook

For many metal fans, Extreme Metal is heavy metal. Since its emergence in the mid-80s, extreme metal has pushed metal to its sonic and aesthetic edge; bands like Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass, Entombed, Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth and many more combined guttural vocals, blast beats and lyrical themes of death and the occult to create metal’s most transgressive offshoot. Though deeply underground, extreme metal is not an obscurity: It is metal’s motor of innovation and continues to thrive today.

However, Extreme Metal was considered too extreme for some TV networks so Banger has come up with a different way to turn “The Lost Episode” into a reality:

We’re launching an IndieGoGo campaign. We’re appealing to the international metal community to help raise the funds to create the Extreme Metal episode. Contributors’ support will send Sam on a global journey from San Francisco and Tampa to the United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden to investigate the history, myths and intricacies of extreme metal. Sam will unravel the lineage between Extreme Metal’s divergent branches - Death Metal, Grindcore and Black Metal - and meet with the sub-genre’s most influential sonic architects: Possessed’s Jeff Becerra, Celtic Frost’s Tom G. Warrior, Morbid Angel’s Trey Azagtoth, Emperor’s Ihsahn, Opeth’s Mikael Akerfeldt and dozens more. The result will be an unforgettable portrait of metal’s fastest growing sub-genre.

So in the name of Extreme Metal, please help us make this episode happen!

What We Need & What You Get

We are attempting to raise $175,000 to cover the entire production of Extreme Metal. These funds will cover everything from writing and research to travel and accommodations to music and stock footage/photo licensing to editing, directing, sound mixing, colour correcting, mastering and authoring.
Each contribution level will receive a number of perks ranging from exclusive merchandise to days on set to personalized thank yous from bands that appear in the episode. See all the different contribution levels to learn more.
In the event that we don’t reach our goal, we’ve brought together a consortium of Extreme Metal record labels and sponsors who have committed to helping make-up the funding shortfall.

Other Ways You Can HelpThis is a call for the metal community to unite in the name of Extreme Metal. If you’re unable to contribute with dollars, there is still so much that you can do to spread the word:

Share our campaign with your people via Twitter, Facebook, and all other SNS.

ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has.

SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?. BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality.
