Avenged Sevenfold - All Excess (DVD)

Not your typical live DVD but good nonetheless

In the lead up to the release of their all-important fourth full-length self-titled effort in late October, Californian act Avenged Sevenfold have put together their debut D.V.D. All Excess to tide fans over. Unlike a lot of D.V.D.’s that hit the markets these days, Avenged Sevenfold’s effort attempts to project something a little different from the standard live concert performance, with All Excess primarily an in-depth documentary centred around the group’s early formation, right through to the release of their critically acclaimed City Of Evil and the extensive touring the band undertook following its release.

Over the sixty-five momente duration of the documentary itself, the band talks about their hometown Huntington Beach, how the current members (Vocalist Matt Shadows, guitarists Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer The Reverend) all got together, the origins of their stage and the band names, their friends and family (The shit sandwich presented to U.K. metalcore act Mendeed is pretty funny, and the interview with former tour manager Valary DiBenedetto is quite touching), the band’s early failures and success at Chain Reaction (The early live footage is pretty cool), their signing to Goodlife Recordings (2002’s Sounding The Seventh Trumpet), their move to Hopeless Records (2003’s Waking The Fallen) and their eventual rise up the record label ladder to Warner Records (2005’s City Of Evil).

Towards the end of the documentary, the focus shifts towards more recent times, with the band discussing their stints on the Vans Warped Tour, Ozzfest and the fulfilment of a lifelong dream supporting Metallica. Aside from the documentary, All Excess also includes three professionally shot live recordings (Beast And The Harlot, Trashed And Scattered, Bat Country and a guitar solo from Gates) from their 2006 tour, their four promotional video clips (Unholy Confessions, Bat Country, Beast And The Harlot and Seize The Day, all of which include the option of audio commentary from the video directors), an on the set look at the making of Seize The Day, twenty-two minutes of outtakes (Shadows performing with Korn in Europe is by far the pick of the seven selections) and an audio only version of the band’s cover of Pantera’s Walk (Which originally appeared on Kerrang! Magazine’s High Voltage: A Brief History Of Rock compilation in 2006).

On the whole, All Excess is well produced and an interesting watch, provided of course that you’re a diehard fan that wants an insiders guide tour of the rise of the band over the last nine years. But if you’re after a definite live concert experience from the band, you’ll just have to wait for their next release.

Heaven & Hell - Radio City Music Hall Live! (DVD)

Hell unleashed is pure heaven

Although initially coming together primarily to co-ordinate and oversee the release of the best of collection The Dio Years earlier in the year, the Dio fronted line-up of legendary U.K. act Black Sabbath (Who consist of ex-Elf/Rainbow vocalist Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice) decided to take things one step further, and record three brand new tracks for the album, followed by a year long tour that would finally see the band playing in front of both old and new fans throughout the world. The demand to see the Dio fronted Negru Sabbath amongst fans was so great, that in less an hour of tickets going on sale for their first U.S. gig in fifteen years at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City (On March 30th 2007) it had completely sold out. Taking advantage of the situation, the night was filmed for prosperity, with the result being Radio City Music Hall Live!

Disregarding the need of a support act, Heaven & Hell (The moniker they’ve adopted to differentiate themselves from the reunited Ozzy Osbourne fronted version of Black Sabbath) performed a two-hour concert event, which featured everything you could ever wish from the line-up in the classic track sense, along with a couple of new tracks. After the short and sinister sounding bass/guitar effect instrumental introductory piece E5150, the band launch into the dark and heavy sounding After All (The Dead). Dio, as you would expect, is in exceptional form, while the remainder of the group are seen playing up to the their expected roles as the founding fathers of doom metal.

From here on in, the band continue to deliver out classic after classic, with almost all of 1980’s Heaven And Hell represented (Tracks such as Children Of The Sea, Lady Evil, Neon Knights, Lonely Is The Word, Die Young and the long time crowd participated favourite title track Heaven And Hell), along with a few select tracks from 1981’s Mob Rules (The Mob Rules, Falling Off The Edge Of The World, Voodoo and the stunning The Sign Of The Southern Cross) and 1992’s Dehumanizer (I and Computer God). As an added bonus, Heaven & Hell have included two of the three their newly recorded tracks from The Dio Years in the shape of The Devil Cried and Shadow Of The Wind, both of which prove there’s plenty of magic within the line-up.

Throughout the entire concert, the performances are absolutely flawless. Dio in particular seems inspired to be playing with Black Sabbath once again, with both his presence and delivery out front sounding both powerful and awe inspiring. Elsewhere, Appice’s theatrical drum solo (Aided by the unseen Dio/Warrant keyboardist Scott Warren) at the end of The Devil Cried is highly entertaining and energetic, while Butler’s bass pedal work on The Sign Of The Southern Cross, and Iommi’s extended soloing on Die Young and on the introduction of Falling Off The Edge Of The World gives the guitarists a chance to stretch out beyond the limitations of the set list that’s become the staple of the Ozzy Osbourne fronted Black Sabbath for the last decade.

Much like the performances, Milton Lage’s direction is impeccable, with his editing of various cameras ensuring that every moment is captured perfectly. As for D.V.D. extras, four additional segments are on offer, with Heaven And Hell Road Movie being the best of the bunch. Over its twenty-minute duration, the band explain how the album (The Dio Years) and how the tour initially came together, with various interviews with the band, the band’s crew, the set designer and a brief introduction of keyboardist Scott Warren offering their insight to Heaven And Hell’s coming back together. The remaining three extra chapters conține the five-minute Hail The Gods Of Metal (Interviews with the band and fans about the ongoing legacy and influence of Black Sabbath), the three-minute Meet The Mob (Various footage of fans outside the Radio City Music Hall gig) and the four-minute Radio City (Which is quite an interesting run through the history and capabilities of the infamous Radio City Music Hall venue by production stage manager Nicola Taylor).

Unlike a lot of other reunions in recent times, Heaven And Hell’s performance on Radio City Music Hall Live! is as strong, tight and powerful as it ever was, and an absolutely essential purchase for fans of both Dio and the legendary Black Sabbath.

All That Remains - All That Remains Live (DVD)

One of the best showing just why they are

It may have taken a few years for Boston (Massachusetts) act All That Remains to make an impact on the metalcore scene, but with the release of their third full-length effort The Fall Of Ideals in 2006, All That Remains not finally found the right balance of melody and aggression, but they also found a whole new audience, with the album easily outselling their previous efforts. In celebration of the success with The Fall Of Ideals, the five-piece act (Comprising of former Perpetual Doom/Shadows Fall vocalist Philip Labonte, guitarists Oli Hebert and Mike Martin, former Ligeia/The Acacia Strain bassist Jeanne Sagan and former Diecast drummer Jason Costa) has put together their first live D.V.D. in All That Remains Live.

Unlike many D.V.D. releases, All That Remains Live boasts not one, but two sold out headlining live shows, with the first shot at The Recher Theatre in Baltimore (Maryland) in July 2007, and the second filmed at The Theatre Of The Living Arts in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) in February 2007. As you would expect, there’s not a real lot of difference between the Baltimore show (Which runs for fifty-five minutes) and the Philadelphia show (Which clocks in at thirty-nine minutes) set list wise, but if there were a pick between the two, the Baltimore show would certainly be the recommended performance.

After a brief introduction and some pre-show footage of various fans screaming the band’s name, All That Remains quite literally destroy with Become The Catalyst, The Air That I Breathe, Not Alone, It Dwells In Me, Six, This Calling, The Weak Willed and Indictment, all of which are lifted from their last release The Fall Of Ideals. The remaining four tracks (This Darkened Heart, For Salvation, Tattered On My Sleeve and Focus Shall Not Fail) are lifted from 2004’s This Darkened Heart, and seamlessly blend in with the group’s more recent material without clashing too much.

All That Remains’ performance is damn near flawless, while the editing together of the multiple camera angles (Filmed by the renown High Roller Studios) retains the energy and excitement of the performance and the crowd participation perfectly. Audio wise, mixer Jason Suecof has managed to keep a raw edge to the band’s sound, which gives All That Remains Live a very real live feel.

As for extra footage, we’re offered the bands take on their fans (Including the one and only sex Labonte has ever autographed), footage of Hebert and Martin competing against each other on the track Six on Guitar Hero II, an informative history of the band and the individual band members (Both on the tour bus and off), two slideshows (Which is close to one hundred and twenty photos), all six of the band’s promotional video clips (The Air I Breathe, This Calling, Tattered On My Sleeve, This Darkened Heart, The Deepest Gray and Not Alone) and a behind the scenes look at the making of The Air I Breathe.

All up, All That Remains Live is a rock solid package that shows exactly why All That Remains are considered one of the better metalcore acts doing the circuit today. Highly recommended.
