Roxx Records is very excited to be a part of the first installment of a brand new documentary series entitled Metal Obsession. Ever wonder what life was like through the eyes of a metalhead? Or even better an over-zealous heavy metal fan and their collection? Well now you can visit deep into the heart of some metal fans from around the world as we take a special journey into the lives and the collections of some of the world’s most die-hard heavy metal fans.
Join us as we explore deep into their minds, lives and personal collections as we find out their likes, dislikes and what makes them rock. Explore many rare treasures from vinyl records, CDs, tapes, and all kinds of metal music from all over the world. As well as exploring the music catalogs from many mainstream artists you will also get to hear about many rare and obscure titles that may boggle your mind and get you thinking ‘man I have got to find that for my own personal collection.’
Featuring many collectors and fans from all over the world, including Scott Waters (Ultimatum / Once Dead), an avid collector, fan and heavy metal artist himself. Scott had this to say about the release “There are many documentaries about the people who make the music. This is a documentary about the people who love the music. It’s the who, what, when, where and why of our obsession with collecting heavy metal records.”
Corey Johnson also an avid collector, fan and producer of this documentary had this to say about the release “This isn’t Behind the Music, this is behind the people. Re-discover the music from your past or feed an ongoing passion for all things heavy. Nostalgia, vinyl records and great stories, it’s all here.”
If this DVD does one thing it shows us that no matter what country or continent you live on, we are all the same. Music will always be a common denominator connecting us all, but for some of us that love and passion comes by way of one of the most criticized, frowned upon musical genre’s ever, Heavy Metal!
Then join us and take an 80 minute journey in to the life of a heavy metal collector, which also includes a ton of extras and bonus footage never before seen. This limited edition DVD pressing made its debut on Saturday May 7th. at this year’s installment of the San Diego Heavy Metal Sap Meet and is officially released on Friday May 13th.
