Synopsis

On the eve of the release of Death Magnetic, their first album for five years, hard rock giants Metallica grant Verity Sharp up close and personal access in Norway during their summer tour of Europe. More usually seen on massive stages playing to huge audiences, The Culture Show goes backstage to intimately capture the band's rehearsals and pre-show activities, and in revealing interviews with band stalwarts James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, Verity Sharp, herself an ardent metalhead as a teenager, discusses the band's origins and turbulent history, their own notoriously volatile relationship, and how to grow old gracefully while still epitomising rawk.
