Category: Reviews – Visual

Almost as good as live, Hellbound tells you which DVDs, Blu-rays, etc. are worth laying out cash for and which ones to leave on the shelf. We also review the occasional film.

  • Slash – Made In Stoke 24/07/11

    Who knew that Slash was so good at anything other than knocking out great, classic licks for almost thirty years? Some fans might have, but Made In Stoke shows makes the point unavoidable; these are great, classic songs all around.

  • Twisted Sister – From The Bars To The Stars: Three Decades Live

    Even if you already own one or two of the DVD’s in the set, this is a worthwhile trade up. If you’ve fallen behind this year and haven’t picked up any of the DVD’s then get out and grab this set! (And, of course, ‘tis the season so it makes a swell gift idea too!)

  • Eyehategod – Live

    Eyehategod Live is ugly, abrasive, and a bit of a mess, but fans of the band wouldn’t have it any other way. And seeing how Eyehategod will likely never play a show north of the border, this is a live set for Canadian fans to savour, not to mention seethe with envy of their neighbours…

  • Iced Earth – Festivals of the Wicked

    Now after watching this thing twice I’ll bet anyone who would argue that Matt Barlow is not the one and only true vocalist for this band. His performance on the Metal Camp festival show is flawless. Such emotion and passion in his delivery, it will have you punching your fist in the air. Highlights are…

  • Heaven & Hell – Radio City Music Hall Blu-Ray Disc

    if there is one criticism that I could lay on Radio City Music Hall it is that it was filmed far too early on after their reformation. The difference between this band’s performance here and the way they were playing that October when they did a second North American tour was like night and day.…

  • Twisted Sister – Double Live DVD

    This, as far as I’m concerned, is the ‘must see’ live DVD of the year

  • Avantasia – The Flying Opera: Around the World In Twenty Days Live

    Overall, the live show is just amazing, musically, vocally, visually, the ensemble really pull it off. Hearing 80,000 fans singing along with Avantasia is a little awe inspiring.

  • Deep Purple – Phoenix Rising

    If rock and roll debauchery is something you are into, definitely pick this up but if you are a fan of the classic In Rock / Machine Head era of Deep Purple then you are better off spending your money elsewhere.

  • Twisted Sister – Live At Wacken: The Reunion

    My complaints about this disc are few (I would REALLY like a straight through version of the show) but my praise is high. This is a great watch for fans new and old and the accompanying live CD has some great rare live 80’s tracks as well.

  • Hellbound.ca’s TOP METAL DVDs Of 2010

    One of the optional categories that all Hellbound contributors were asked to write about in our year end polls was their favourite Metal DVD of 2010. As it was optional – and because not all of us watched music DVDs in 2010 – not everyone has participated but I think that it is obvious from…
