The Premiere Of The Documentary Film BAND VS BRAND To Screen At The Hall Of Heavy Metal History Gala

The premiere of BAND VS BRAND, a feature-length documentary film directed by Bob Nalbandian (Director of the Inside Metal series) will make its screening debut on Wednesday, January 23, 2019 at the Marriott Delta Garden Grove just prior to the annual The Hall of Heavy Metal History Gala. The documentary focuses on the current state of the music business and on how "the brand" of a rock group these days has more power than the band members themselves. Tickets for the awards gala are $30 each with the movie premiere open to the general public, free of charge.

"We are honored that Pat Gesualdo, Founder and CEO of the Hall of Heavy Metal History, invited us to do the premiere screening for BAND VS BRAND at the Metal Hall of Fame and Awards," said Nalbandian.

The film features interviews from several top industry executives and musicians of today, including David Ellefson of the Grammy Award-winning band Megadeth, Jack Russell from Jack Russell's Great White, Nik Turner and Nicky Garrett from Nik Turner's Hawkwind, Dave Lombardo from Suicidal Tendencies and formerly with Slayer, Marc Ferrari from Keel, Frank DiMino from Angel, Mike Varney from Shrapnel Records, Pat Gesualdo from The Hall of Heavy Metal History, manager Adam Parsons (Uriah Heep, Saxon, Europe, Thin Lizzy/BSR), guitarist/songwriter Jean Beauvoir (Plasmatics, Little Steven) and many others.

BAND VS BRAND will be coming to DVD and Digital Streaming outlets in March 2019 via Cleopatra Entertainment.
