The VH1 heavy metal documentary series Metal Evolution will be released to DVD this coming Tuesday, March 27th and can be pre-ordered here (thanks RushFanForever). The 11-episode series was the brainchild of Rush documentary and Time Machine video filmmakers Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen and built on the mission first put forth in their 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. You can watch that entire episode online at this link. 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 2010.
