v/a - Trustkill Video Assault vol. 1

posted by: David on 15 February 2005

Josh Grabelle, president of Trustkill Records, welcomes you when you put this DVD in your player. But that�s not the last you�ll see of him, because he tells a background story about every video and that�s really cool. Actually, it's the best thing about this DVD. Because otherwise you would�ve never heard the story about how the whole band and crew of Bleeding Through was told by the Limp Bizkit bodyguards to never lay an eye on Fred Durst as his band was rehearsing next to the studio where �On Wings Of Lead� was recorded. Or that Throwdown wanted to make their own Fight Club for the video of �Forever� and they needed real fights to do it, so they asked their friends in Donnybrook and Dead Skin Mask to beat each other up. Nice trivia, right? Too bad the videos aren�t really new, because half of them were also on the �Eye For An Eye� compilation and the fans of these bands have probably seen the videos on internet by now. The bonus material isn�t much fun either, because there are only previews of other DVD�s (Hellfest 2002, Hellfest 2003 and New England Metal And Hardcore Festival 2003). But anyway, fans of Roses Are Red, Bleeding Through, Eighteen Visions, Most Precious Blood, Throwdown, Nora, Open Hand, Hopesfall, Armsbendback and Poison The Well will probably think this DVD is worth its money.
