The Hard 'n Heavy line was a series of videotapes released from the late 1980s through the 1990s containing interviews, taped live performances, and videos of various heavy metal artists. There were also brief animated clips depicting several metalhead characters, usually engaging in some sexual and/or violent act in between band footage. Similarly, many of the metal videos were uncensored or banned from various other music outlets, along without censorship of cursewords that any band member might say during an interview, which all of these tapes came with a warning label on them in regards to these matters.
