Metal Evolution: The Series (The Definitive History of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock) presents 11 episodes based on the much-debated Metal History "family tree" originally shown in Headbanger's Journey. Originally airing on VH1 Classic, this beautifully packaged set dives into a 26 sub-genre genealogical chart that reveals the vast complex progeny of heavy metal--from Early Metal and Shock Rock to Thrash, from Progressive Metal to Grunge and Nu Metal. Using the chart as his road map, our host, metalhead turned anthropologist Sam Dunn, will crisscross the globe in search of the very essence of Metal, from bars and back alleys to the biggest open air festivals.

Featuring interviews with members of: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Metallica, The Kinks, Van Halen, KISS, Alice Cooper, Soundgarden, Slayer, and many more!
