The guy who runs it, Sam Dunn, his favourite music is Death and Black Metal, despite the more commercial films he’s made. But let’s face it, every metalhead likes Maiden, so a doc about them is going to sell! He’s also done Rush, Alice Cooper and Motörhead.
My problem was not that they didn't like the Akercocke album it's that just didn't even try break it down they just dismissed it altogether and from what they said it felt like they reviewed one track didn't like the vocals and just threw a review together based on that. Everyone has different tastes but if they were a bit more in depth with how they didn't like it I would of went along with it but they just said something along the lines of not sure what they wanted to achieve with these vocals and moved on to the next album.

I'm a big fan of Banger TV I watch it all the time and I love Sam Dunns passion but this neglectful attitude from the two reviewers rubbed me up the wrong way and if it was a band I wasn't a big fan of I would feel the same this is not a fan boy reaction. It just felt lazy to me
