Finland is known for it’s rock and metal scene, and we have made a TV documentary feature film about the hard rocking Finns called “Promised Land of Heavy Metal” (already aired and co-produced by Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE).

The Finnish main Lutheran church has heavy metal masses! The film has an interview from the heavy metal priest, a psychiatrist, a doctor of theology… and finally with Madam president of Finland, Tarja Halonen, who is proud of the great Finnish metal.

Alice has been visiting Finland since 1974! Must have performed over there, every year, since. By the way, the Finnish main church has nothing against Alice Cooper. The people behind this ban are evangelical fringe church members. Do they ever learn?

Our film includes the first -74 interview from Alice Cooper visiting Finland, Eurovision song contest winner Lordi, all the major Finnish metal stars (HIM, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica…) and many international metal celebrities (such as Dimmu Borgir Killswitch Engage, Entombed…)

Finland really is the only country in the world where metal is mainstream.
The documentary is in English, and aimed at the international mainstream audience.
