Mastodon, Neurosis, Bongzilla, High On Fire, Alabama Thunderpussy, Burnt By The Sun, and several other bands are caught onstage pummeling through their destructive sets in 5.1 stereo sound. The DVD features about 4 songs from each band, just enough to give you an idea of what you'd get seeing the bands live, but often leaving you wanting more! The sound mix isn't always terrific, but it is a festival show in a club, so nothing is perfect. Lets not forget the interviews and backstage footage, which give even more of an overall feel of the festival. It's hard enough to find live footage of most of these bands, so this DVD really comes in handy while you're waiting for High On Fire or The Dillinger Escape Plan to come your way.
