AXS TV conjures up a day of musical mayhem loud enough to wake the dead in the “Heavy Metal Halloween” Saturday Stack event – rising again on October 29 starting at 12PM ET/9AM PT. The block is headlined by a roster of petrifying profiles and colossal concerts, putting the spotlight on some of music’s most iconic Metal masters.
“Heavy Metal Halloween” kicks off at 12PM ET with a sinister septet of Rock Legends episodes, as the acclaimed series digs up the roots of the groundbreaking genre with retrospectives covering the “Birth Of Metal,” “British Metal,” and “US Heavy Metal,” followed by in-depth portraits of the genre’s loyal legion of “Metalheads”; Heavy Metal mainstays Iron Maiden and Guns ‘N’ Roses; and the Godfathers of Metal themselves, Black Sabbath.
The day continues at 3:30PM ET, as the band that started it all takes the stage one last time to unleash a roaring hometown set that includes “Iron Man,” “Children Of The Grave,” “Paranoid,” “War Pigs” and many more in Black Sabbath: The End Of The End. Then, the Saints of the Sunset Strip return to their old haunting grounds for an unforgettable evening packed with favorites such as “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Shout At The Devil,” and “Home Sweet Home” in Mötley Crüe: The End – Live In Los Angeles; and the men behind Metal’s most famous costumes and makeup take Sin City by storm with a hit-heavy concert featuring “Rock And Roll All Nite,” “Psycho Circus,” “Black Diamond,” and “Love Gun” in KISS Rocks Vegas.
The block concludes with a look behind the curtain at the wizard of shock in the celebrated 2014 documentary Super Duper Alice Cooper, which brings the twisted tale of influential Metal trailblazer Alice Cooper to life in a stunning blend of rare archive footage, animation, and rock opera elements.
