The final episode of the heavy metal documentary show Metal Evolution aired this weekend in Canada on MuchMoreMusic (it can be viewed online from Canada) and will air next weekend on VH1 Classic in the US. The show is the brainchild of Rush documentary and Time Machine video filmmakers Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen and builds on the mission first put forth in his groundbreaking Metal: A Headbanger's Journey documentary - in which Geddy Lee had appeared. The final episode in the series (episode 11) focuses on the Progressive Metal genre of heavy metal and heavily featured Rush, including interview segments with all 3 members along with former producer Terry Brown. The band interview segments were conducted when Rush was in Cleveland last year for their April 15th show that was filmed for the Time Machine video. Geddy had also appeared in episode 2 of the series to discuss the contributions of American garage rock band Blue Cheer to the origins of heavy metal. Geddy's brother Allan Weinrib is the production manager for the show and has been the Executive Producer and Head of Production and Development at Banger Films (Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen's film production company) since December of last year. Thanks to RushFanForever for the screenshots.
