Finally, a great show about Heavy Metal called Metal Evolution and the storied history about where it really came from. VH1, you are alright in our books now and we cannot wait for the Thrash Metal show on December 31st. Our only gripe is that with the series listing, nothing is covered when it comes to Death or Black Metal? C'mon folks, this is a huge area to mine or maybe the suits over at Viacom were a bit nervous about talking to church burners and legions of the damned.

About Metal Evolution:
Metal Evolution presents 11 episodes based on the much-debated Metal
History "family tree" originally shown in Headbanger's Journey. This 24
sub-genre genealogical chart reveals the vast complex progeny of heavy
metal--from Early Metal and Shock Rock to Thrash, from Progressive Metal
to Grunge and Nu Metal. Using the chart as his road map, our host,
metalhead turned anthropologist Sam Dunn, will crisscross the globe in
search of the very essence of Metal, from bars and back alleys to the
biggest open air festivals.
