Metal fans do not miss the music documentary A Wandering Path: The Story of Gilead Media now streaming on SCREAMBOX.

In the doc, Adam Bartlett operates a renowned label specializing in black metal, doom and noise rock releases. Through live performances and behind-the-scenes hangouts, we meet the artists behind the music and how they used music to struggle through adversity.

Directed by Michael Dimmitt, “A Wandering Path explores a heavy music scene curated by Adam Bartlett through his indie record label, Gilead Media, and the underground festivals he has been putting on for over a decade, which have been bonding people from around the country.

“Adam Bartlett started the Gilead Media Record Label in 2005. His first releases were small runs of LPs and CDs, that he did for his own band and his friends’ bands, but fast forward to the present, he now runs a celebrated underground label that is renowned internationally for putting out black metal, doom, and noise rock releases of well-known bands. He and his business partner, Dave Adelson, from the record label, 20 Buck Spin, put on Migration Fest every two years where heavy music fans from around the world come together to perform, hang out, and create strong personal bonds.

“Through live performances, interviews, and behind the scenes hangouts, we meet the artists behind the music, learn how they write and perform music as a means to cope with issues such as sexual abuse, depression, childhood indoctrination of Christianity, and grief from loss of loved ones.
