FINLAND
PRESENTER: ADIL RAY
Documentary, produced by Sakari Heiskanen and narrated by Kimmo Kuusniemi, 2008, The Finnish Broadcasting Company.
Official website:
"Promised Land of Heavy Metal is a documentary about the history and philosophy of Heavy Metal and how it became such a big deal in a small country called Finland.
We tell the story of Finnish Metal, from its early "underground" days to the present success stories, by interviewing famous musicians, experts and events organizers, a psychiatrist and a doctor of theology. The film takes us literally from the graveyard to the Finnish President's palace!
Why is Metal a religion for so many? What are it's links to satanism and ritualistic murders? What made Metal mainstream in Finland? Why does the Finnish Church have Metal Masses? What's the future of Metal, after LORDI won the Eurovision song contest and even the President approves? We hear strong opinions: some see Metal as the new folk music, while others detest it's commercial aspect."
