According to Metal Israel: "The goal of this film is to discover what is happening in metal scenes around the world," co-directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn beforehand said in a statement, "Metal has spread throughout Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and even Africa. We want to discover what metal means to musicians and fans that come from these diverse cultures."
"Global Metal" is expected to include interviews with Israel's Orphaned Land and Melechesh as well as live footage from Orphaned Land’s November 25, 2006 show at the Theatre Club in Tel-Aviv, Israel and Melechesh's concert at The Opera House in Toronto on September 23, 2006.
"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" explored metal's impact and controversy over the past 35 years and featured interviews with Tony Iommi, Bruce Dickinson, Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, Slayer, Dee Snider, Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, Cannibal Corpse, Emperor and many more. The two-disc DVD set was released in North America in May 2006 and includes extended interviews, an interactive metal history chart, and a mini-doc on Norwegian black metal.
