DEATH Documentary To Make European Debut At Finland’s Rokumentti Film Festival

The critically acclaimed heavy metal documentary Death By MetaL is slated to make its European debut at the Rokumentti Rock Film Festival in Joensuu, Finland on November 18th 2016. The event is open to the public. A new preview clip of the documentary has been made available to go with this announcement.
Tickets will be available through the Rokumentti Rock Film Festival’s website.

Death By MetaL is the rockumentary of Death and Control Denied frontman Chuck Schuldiner, whose life and career was tragically cut short by cancer in 2001. Featuring exclusive interviews, rare footage and demos, it is the first film of its kind to tribute Schuldiner’s unparalleled role in the evolution of heavy metal.
Death by MetaL is written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Felipe Belalcazar.

Death By MetaL description:

Get the hell out of the way, here comes death metal’s ancestor, high priest and big daddy. Death is widely considered the pioneering juggernaut of death metal and one of the most authentic bands of the genre. The leading force and architect of the band was the late Chuck Schuldiner, whose legacy can still be heard resonating in their music.

The documentary takes a thorough look at the history of metal and Schuldiner’s life's work as a musician. What was unique about Schuldiner is that he never took himself or the genre too seriously. He bravely pushed the envelope and couldn’t care less about what textbook metal was supposed to be like.

Although the documentary mainly focuses on Death and Schuldiner, it is also a compact information package about the early stages of death metal and how it evolved into its current shape. International cassette tape swapping, dedication and the will to develop as musicians are the key factors for the existence of this infernally fast-paced dark music.
