4.0 out of 5 stars
Wicked show, but that's that, August 14, 2009
This review is from: Evil Death Live (DVD)
Vital Remains blast out brutal death metal songs that are as epic as can be. With seven songs (plus two intros) in one hour's time, they perform about four full songs in the time it takes Slayer to do a complete concert. Sound and video are absolutely on top, the surround effect encompasses you and the bass doesn't let down. Play it wickedly loud next time the Jehova's witnesses are around! Damien Boynton (the live singer for this occasion) does some of the funniest "wicked" looks you'll ever see, but he's a pretty solid vocalist (not a new Glen Benton though). The band must be praised for the pure stamina of seven to ten-minute epics with non-stop frantic blast beats, deep guttural growling, and relentless guitar and bass shredding.
On the other hand, the only extra included is an interview with Suzuki and Lazaro, and even though it does cover their full history, it gets to be a bit bland with such a boring interviewer and one too many beers. Who wouldn't rather have liked to see Damien explain those wicked looks he gives on stage? They're priceless!
If you're into Vital Remains, get this for the show - it'll rip you to shreds. But don't expect any special extras (the nifty slide-out packaging doesn't count).

EVIL !!!!, December 1, 2007
This review is from: Evil Death Live (DVD)
WAS A LITTLE PISSED THAT GLEN BENTON WAS NOT ON VOCALS FOR THIS.
BUT DAMIEN BOYTON IS OK BUT NOT AS GOOD AS GLEN.
DVD HAS A COOL INTERVIEW WITH TONY LAZARO AND DAVE SUZUKI
VERY GOOD SOUND AND VIDEO QUALITY
ALL AND ALL A KILLER DVD
