    Rob Zombie – The Zombie Horror Picture Show DVD

    The problem with most rock concert DVDs is that, while they capture and present the music and the show well enough (usually), they fail to really present the experience of the event. Most normally, they’re too narrow of view; those watching get some of the pomp and power of the presentation –  usually from the…

  • 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.

  • Immortal – Live At Wacken 2007:The Seventh Date of Blashyrkh

    Having an Immortal at Wacken DVD is a real treat for me because I know that I’m going to get a concert that actually looks and sounds like a live show. No ridiculously quick cuts or overly obvious tricks, no overdubs, nothing. The stuff that comes out of Wacken Open Air is consistently awesome and…

  • The Acacia Strain – The Most Known Unknown DVD

    The Acacia Strain have the dubious distinction of being one of the original ‘deathcore’ bands, spawning a whole load of crappy imitations over the years. Thankfully, The Acacia Strain are still head and shoulders above all of their competition and live they really shine. Yes, the editing is quite jarring, but at the same time…

  • Riverside – Reality Dream Live

    This two disc set is an excellent introduction to the Polish band’s live show, which should also win them over a whole new crowd of fans too.

  • Amorphis – Forging the Land of Thousand Lakes

    With two jam-packed DVDs and two CDs, Forging the Land of Thousand Lakes is nothing if not thorough.

  • Megadeth – Rust In Peace Live

    “Originally released twenty years ago, Rust In Peace easily sits in the same revered place as true metal classics like Piece Of Mind, In Rock, Ace of Spades and Stained Class. It is the type of album that you pull out when a curious friend wants to know what the best metal albums of all…

  • Meshuggah – Alive

    In less talented hands, the 90 minute concert film that constitutes the centerpiece of Alive would come off as a sloppily arranged mess, but director/editor Ian McFarland’s footage is so well-shot and so tastefully edited that we can’t help but forgive him for making the whole experience a touch disjointed. Adrien Begrand reviews the brand…

  • Blackfield – NYC: Blackfield Live in New York City

    Originally released as a DVD only, it has now been reissued as a two disc set, with the entire performance now also available as on CD too. The band sticks pretty much to Blackfield material, playing everything but one song from their second album II and also including nearly all of the first album too.…

  • Emperor – Live Inferno

    Live Inferno is nothing less than a send-off from the canonical Norwegian black metal band.
