Commented creator/producer Robert Bolger: "Unlike most music documentaries' more musician-focused approach, 'Behind The Suit And Tie' will spend more time with the people behind the labels."

Due later this year, "Behind the Suit and Tie" "pulls no punches and features some of the prime movers in the heavy metal industry drawing back the veil of mystique surrounding the music business and addressing tough questions about the industry itself, how it's run and where labels see their role in a digital future," according to a press release.
