Rez Metal captures the creative energy of Indigenous youth culture
in the twenty-first century. Bridging communities from disparate
corners of Indian Country and across generations, heavy metal has
touched a collective nerve on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona in
particular. Many cultural leaders-including former Navajo president
Russell Begaye-have begun to recognize heavy metal's ability to
inspire Navajo communities facing chronic challenges such as
poverty, depression, and addiction. Heavy metal music speaks to the
frustrations, fears, trials, and hopes of living in Indian Country.
Rez Metal highlights a seminal moment in Indigenous heavy metal:
when Kyle Felter, lead singer of the Navajo heavy metal band I Dont
Konform, sent a demo tape to Flemming Rasmussen, the Grammy
Award-winning producer of several Metallica albums, including
Master of Puppets. A few months later, Rasmussen, captivated by the
music, flew from Denmark to Window Rock, Arizona, to meet the band.
Through a series of vivid images and interviews focused on the
venues, bands, and fans of the Navajo Nation metal scene, Rez Metal
provides a window into this fascinating world.
