We spend a lot of time on BangerTV talking about the way metal sounds, but what about the way it looks? The Fabric of Metal takes viewers on a cultural tour of the mainstays of metal style - from battle vests and bullet belts to leather daddies and corpse paint. Host Sarah Kitteringham hits up musicians, superfans, and metal scholars for some anthropological discussion about the origin and meaning of the unique (and sometimes questionable) sartorial expressions that have been sewn into the scene for nearly half a century.
BangerTV wants to create the next great series for our global metal community and we want your help! Introducing the Heavy Metal Democracy Project. Here’s how it works: we’ve created four series pilots which you can watch, vote, and comment on below. Once the votes are in, we’ll greenlight the pilot with the most votes into a full six-part series.

3 years later, I would love to see this continue into a larger series. There's so much nuance to the different scenes and sub-genres and how they look. If you're relatively well versed, you can often identify someone's sub of choice just based on how they look at shows and festivals.

When I was 12yo circa 1980 I wrote ACDC on my notebook at school. I was bit clueless and although I did like rock I wasn't a huge music fan in general and didn't know their songs. I thought the stylized lettering was cool. A bullying kid at school spotted it and asked me to name two songs from ACDC in front of a bunch of classmates. I couldn't and they all laughed like cruel middle schoolers do. Lesson learned. Don't be a dumb poser. LOL!

I agree with the notion that battle vest is a silly name and it kinda grinds my gears. However they are probably the best way to give a person an overview of your taste in metal and aesthetics. A well thought out jacket can tell you more about a person than a 10 minute talk. And if you like their jacket you can use those 10 minutes to ask them where they got some of those awesome patches from.

I love patch jackets, and they're a big part of what I enjoy about festivals each year. You get to see so many different creations, and each one is unique. I've spent years building mine up. The other pilots are good, but I'd love to see this subject explored more. If the winner does well, maybe Banger can come back and give this one a little love?

Cool! For me it's about the artwork, which is so much a part of metal. Those shapes and colors. I lean mostly towards traditional commercial metal like Dio, Priest, Maiden, King Diamond/ Mercyful Fate. Part of the reason I love these bands is because of their artwork. I was listening to Black Sabbath years before Kiss. But the Destroyer album cover got my attention. It looks like comic book art. The same thing happened with Acid Witch. I loved the art, which I thought was funny and looked amazing. I liked their music. Then I bought their CD and a shirt. I wore the shirt to a show and ended up in a conversation about the band. I enjoyed that.

Gen X'er here. Back in the early 80s we used what jackets we had. They didn't have to be leather or denim. Most of them back then is due to denim being the fashion of the time and most of us had 'em; worn out and new ones. Just find a comfortable jacket you like and slap some patches on it. And back then we called them band jackets or patch jackets. Calling them battle vests just makes me think of those office guys that boast about being weekend warriors.

Of course it might be just me as I am a huge fan of battle vests and have three myself, but I love the nerdyness and the cultural aspect. I don't think we really need another guitar gear or genre show, there's dozens of them.

I think this one is the more intresting (I mean we want all of them but), in that it encapsulate various research fields and intervenants from different backgrounds. It has more depth I feel, and come back to a more antropologyst and social studies point of view that sam dunn popularized. Also it's very well made, from the shots to the effects (careful with the sounds of the leaf ^^). The only critic I can make is that I didn't like the sequences of the intervenants walking in slow-mo, I really don't want it to be a fashion show, in the parade sens of the word.

I feel like if I do a vest that I would do kinda like a leather biker style, but my music preferences are more on the old school 80s hair metal bands like Mötley Crüe and Poison to name a few and without a doubt Metallica. At the same time, I would also incorporate my interest and love of all things of the patriotic America and even a big fan of all things professional wrestling and WWE; obviously you can't have music and wrestling connection without mentioning Motörhead and Triple H, because you can't say that you don't have a guilty pleasure of Motörhead if you're a fan of WWE and especially not importantly a fan of Triple H.
