SLIPKNOT
- Disasterpieces
From the obscure American state of Iowa to one of the most explosive metal
acts of the new millennium, Slipknot
certainly ploughed their rewards back into one fucking phenomenal live show to
accompany their second album, named after their home state. In case you have no
idea who I'm talking about, this is the 18-legged grotesquely masked & matching
over-all wearing musical assassins who combine the fury of guitars, drums and
bass guitar with samples, turntables and
additional extravagant percussion into a wall of ferociously infectious sound.
Even though they only have two albums to their name thus far, there are plenty
of incredible tunes packed into this live show at the London Arena, each a gem
in its own right. This totally killer double DVD offers an eye-popping live performance
from the tight 9-man metal machine with all the energy, intensity, brutality and
stage props to make this one of the live shows of the year. Disasterpieces
also include music videos (like Spit It Out's The
Shining homage
and the rare animated video to Wait And Bleed) and extra bits like a bonus
unavailable audio
track (Purity) to satisfy the maggots' insatiable hunger for more of this
sharp-as-a-knife outfit that put some spectacle back into live music (hydraulics
and spinning drum risers!). In between you get to see the band's preparation,
sound checks as well as first person view on stage - each of them having a small
camera mounted on their masks! The Menus are stylishly designed, furthermore enhancing
the mood and impact of this must-have package. 6 / A - PB
