Music: TV movie: Global Rock: Where does the metal rock opera Insigne Metal Ópera fit into the scene, if at all?

I was quite impressed by this hour-long movie that I saw on TV a month ago in Toronto.  Especially because I have a friend in Brasil who is engaged in writing a metal opera [Insigne Metal Ópera], in cooperation with the foremost reformational arts group in the country, Associação Rookmaker para Estudios em Arte e Cosmovisão.  For info on the upcoming First Conference of L'Abrarte on Art and the Christian Mind (15-16) see here and also here.  Scroll down to entry for November 15-16.

In GLOBAL METAL (2008), directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn set out to discover how the West's most maligned musical genre - heavy metal - has impacted the world's cultures beyond Europe and North America. The film follows metal fan and anthropologist Sam Dunn on a whirlwind journey through Japan, Brasil and the Iran as he explores the underbelly of the world's emerging extreme music scenes; from Indonesian death metal to Chinese black metal to Iranian thrash metal. GLOBAL METAL reveals a worldwide community of metalheads who aren't just absorbing metal from the West - they're transforming it - creating a new form of cultural expression in societies dominated by conflict, corruption and mass-consumerism. Written by Anonymous
