SPEAKING OF BEING A METAL INSIDER: BEHIND THE SUIT AND TIE DOCUMENTARY WILL DELVE INTO THE METAL INDUSTRY

While we’re on the topic of the No Label Needed contest and series, our friend Dan Rodriguez at Metal Insider reports that Behind the Suit and Tie, a long-in-the-works documentary at the metal industry, is finally being readied for release. This is obviously different from your average Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey because it’s not aiming to tell you about the music you already know and love, but, rather, to give you some insights into the business side of things.

Here’s the trailer:
