Tracing the origins of metal is a phantasmagoric odyssey that traverses cities and countries, oceans and continents. For Sam Dunn, the start of this heavy metal pilgrimage will take him from Memphis, Tennnesee's Sun Studios, birthplace of Metal's indisputable progenitor, rock 'n' roll, to across the Atlantic, where he'll zero in on the dawn of Metal's central ingredient, the power chord, through The Kinks' formative smash, "You Really Got Me.". The earliest sounds of Metal will be revealed — the guitar innovators of fuzz and distortion — who played them and how these sounds were generated, while fresh and candid conversations about the meaning behind the aggression and brotherhood of metal with icons such as Rob Halford, Alice Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Lemmy, Sebastien Bach and guitar heroes Slash, Tom Morello, Kirk Hammett and, in one of his final interviews, the late, legendary Hubert Sumlin, will enlighten us every step of the way. 2012 Metal Evolution Productions Inc.
