Cincinnati, Ohio. The Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization is very honored to have at least 3 band performances from our 6th annual Metal festival included in a documentary film that has been in production at the Puerto Rico University's Heavy Metal Studies since 2012.
Nelson Varas-Díaz, PhD (Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Puerto Rico) states: "During the past 12 months a team of researchers from the University of Puerto Rico has been working on a documentary film addressing the creation and development of a local metal scene in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. Through in-depth interviews, revision of historical documents, and analysis of archival videos the team aims to reconstruct the major highlights in the development of a musical community that has survived for 30 years against all odds. The particularities of a metal scene in a small Caribbean island are varied and have the potential to inform the growing interest on metal scenes around the world. Some of these include: the role of Christian groups in the development of a local organized scene, cultural concern over Americanization of the local youth, the meanings of metal music in a colonial context, and the integration of Afro-Caribbean sounds into metal music. In order to complete their ongoing documentary film on Puerto Rico’s metal scene, the team will accompany three local bands that will play at the Warriors Of Metal Fest VI Open Air to be held on June 28-29 at the Frontier Ranch in Pataskala, Ohio. Dantesco, Solvo Animus, and Alas Negras represent Puerto Rico’s contribution to Doom, Progressive and Thrash Metal. There the team will record the bands’ performances, interview attendees and document the overall reaction to this “Puerto Rican Invasion” of the festival. We are sure that the Warriors Of Metal Fest family will receive us with open arms and help us in this last stretch of our documentary film. We are looking forward to seeing you there. You can follow our project HERE".
