Back in the ‘70s, heavy metal was not restricted to being just a genre of music. In case you did not know, it was also a monthly graphic magazine for adults who had a penchant for particularly dark fantasy, science fiction, erotica, and steampunk comics. So, it was only fitting that the magazine was made into a movie and, mind you, not just any film but into an animated one. After all, what else could capture the surrealistic visions of the magazine’s original art? If you ask us, certainly not a live-action flick, for sure! Well, in order to keep the source material in the realm of the imagined or in the part of the mind that can plan out a whole world in sequential drawings, an animated movie was the right choice.
