Monsters of Metal Vol. 1
Monsters of Metal gives no quarter, cramming 50 videos by 50 different metal bands onto two discs. You name the place and the sound, and it's here: from all over Europe (England, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, and Denmark), the U.S., Canada, and Brazil comes hard rock in all shapes and styles, from radio-friendly pop-metal to heavier thrash and speed-metal to extreme forms like gothic, industrial, and death metal. If you're already a fan of the genre, you can discover bands you most likely haven't heard before; if you're not, four hours of head-banging probably won't change your mind. But for those already converted, here's a golden opportunity to widen your metal outlook: Brazil's thrash-metal quartet Sepultura's heavy-duty cover of U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky" and stalwarts Iron Maiden's live version of its classic "Run to the Hills" are the exceptions to the rule of unfamiliar or new bands showing off their considerable metal chops.

Monsters of Metal Vol. 2
No matter if you prefer Thrash, Death, Black, Power or Heavy Metal, "Monsters Of Metal 2" contains great videos for each taste and will certainly satisfy every fan of hard guitar music. Again compiled by Nuclear Blast president Markus Staiger, the two DVDs feature a real firework of variety such as dark masterpieces from DIMMU BORGIR ('Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse') or IMMORTAL ('Grim And Forbidden Kingdoms') and hard death bullets fired off by KATAKLYSM ('As I Slither'), BOLT THROWER ('Cenotaph') or ENTOMBED ('Wolverine Blues') as well as powerful heavy smashers made by EDGUY ('King Of Fools'), NEVERMORE ('Enemies Of Reality') and SAXON ('Killing Ground'). Additionally you can find the recent hit clips of IN FLAMES ('The Quiet Place'), MACHINE HEAD ('Imperium), ICED EARTH ('The Reckoning'), CREMATORY ('Greed') or RAUNCHY ('Watch Out') on the DVDs, next to classics like 'Gutter Ballet' from SAVATAGE and MOTÖRHEAD's 'God Save The Queen'.
