Volume five presents a plethora of noted performers and bands, including Iron Maiden, the British group formed around bassist Steven Harris in 1976. Iron Maiden combined theatrics, metal riffs, and punk-style vocals, setting the stage for the birth of the New Wave of British heavy metal. The film also pays tribute to Motorhead, a band whose powerful music resulted in their status as innovators of speed metal.
