Hetfield is lead singer/guitarist/songwriter/rock god of Metallica, the heaviest of the heavy, loudest of the loud and the subject of/inspiration for “Metallica: Through the Never,” a concert film with an offstage element involving a gofer/roadie (Dane DeHaan) caught on the nightmarish streets of a Metallica video (anarchists battling cops, murder, mayhem, Death wearing a Gas MAsk and Riding a Black Horse. You know, real heavy metal stuff.

Nimrod Antal (“Kontroll”) directed it, and Hetfield and his bandmates wrote it. They perform a few songs, then we catch up with the drug addled kid who is living through the mean Metallica night. “Metallica: Through the Never” opens Oct. 4.
