A documentary about metal music and inclusivity in the scene I directed and edited for BBC iPlayer in 2021.

Can metal-fan Dan persuade pop-lover James that the scene is more welcoming than it appears?

After learning how the metal community provides some fans and artists with a safe space in times of crisis, James decides to try on the subculture for size. He learns the secret to creating a 'vocal fry', loses his 'mosh virginity' and becomes an honorary member of Evil Scarecrow.

Featuring contributions from Sean Long and Loz Taylor (While She Sleeps), Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth), Benji Webbe (Skindred), Sophie K (Kerrang), Daniel P Carter (Radio 1) and Larissa Stupar (Venom Prison).

It was a lot of fun.
