Executive producers Evan Husney and Jason Eisener return to talk about their new Hulu docu-series Into The Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal, and how it almost didn’t happen. They explain why the idea for the show actually predates Dark Side of the Ring, how they pitched Hulu on telling very human stories inside the world of metal, and why they wanted to move away from the tired sex-drugs-and-rock clichés. Evan and Jason break down the intense process of landing Sharon Osbourne for the Randy Rhoads episode just days before Ozzy’s final show, the emotional weight of revisiting Randy’s death, and why hearing from the people who were actually there changes everything. They talk about building trust with Rita Haney for the Dimebag Darrell episode, bringing Rita and Phil Anselmo together for the first time in years, and how that interview sparked healing inside the Pantera family. They also discuss the “Godfather of Death Metal” Chuck Schuldiner episode that set the tone for the series, the challenges of telling Wendy O. Williams’ story on her terms, Anne Boleyn’s battle to survive the Sunset Strip scene, and metal musicians being imprisoned in Iran for their lyrics. Plus, Evan and Jason explain their fight for music rights, what stories shocked them the most, and whether Into The Void could return for a second season.
