This is one AWESOME slice into the heart of life that exemplifies the Soulfly Tribe. Max Cavalera is living breathing example of what one can achieve if they truly believe.

A superb and compelling documentary covering almost a decade of devotion to his craft that sees Max at his best- on stage and at home. He lets down his guard and shares his story of living (and loving) life to the fullest creating uniquely heavy inspirational music to delight fans worldwide.

Sure, the hardcore fan will be pleased with the requisite 4 videos (one from each Soulfly album to date) and the abundance of promised live performance shots but the heart and soul of this release is the interviews from the Phoenix desert and the "behind the scenes" footage which provide an exclusive backstage pass into family Cavalera- a true tribe united.

A trendsetter in his own right, Max arrived from Brazil to earn acclaim. His message certainly comes from deep in the heart and provides the temptation to absorb the emotion pouring out of the music. Staying true to one's roots and beliefs is very honorable and this underlying trait comes through in abundance on this riveting collection.

After watching the 90 minutes of music, mayhem and the man I'm sure you will agree that the song surely does remain insane for one who has overcome tragedy and adversity to rise above and persevere. Empowered by faith and commitment, believing in experimentation for the sake of growth.

Bringing substance over style and progressing through the course of one's career is the secret of life. And Max Cavalera proves it here. He is genuinely real. Enjoy this slice of life the Soulfly way!

Great live footage of Soulfly across the globe. Many interviews with Max, covering the Sepultura years through Prophecy. All the Soulfly videos and in the studio for Prophecy. Great for the Soulfly fan, very thorough. Will not disappoint. German boy is wrong!

This is awesome DVD, got it the second day it came out. I don't know what's german boy's problem is but this DVD Rocks. p.s. f**k Sepultura and their new CD!

I'd been waiting for a soulfly dvd for sometime, and im glad they finally got this thing out. It provides a new look at soulfly, max, and the music. The live footage is great, and the videos are fine as well, but the highligh of this dvd for me was the interview footage. I recomend this to any soulfly fan, or any fan of max.

First off, I don't know what this guy is talking about - "this dvd should be called the song sucks balls", if anything, you sucks balls guy!! Now on to more important things, this dvd is off the hook!! for anyone who's been a true Max fan from the Sep days, you know exactly what i mean! I feel Max & his music just grows stronger each day. This dvd captures EVERYTHING Soulfly is all about, music, friends, family, & fans!! If possible, i'd rate this dvd much higher then a 5, it deserves more like a 1,000!!! To sum it all up, BUY THIS DVD!! you won't be disappointed at all. O.G. Sep fans & Soulfly fans all around the world, PEACE & MUCH RESPECT!!

I am a collector of concert metal dvds, and i must say this is by far one of the best dvd's i own. it has everything, a very good documentary nariated by Max himself. a good look at concerts and off stage of whats happening with soulfly. very good live performancec from different parts of the world and time frames, from the begining to the current state of Soulfly. While Sepultura is going down soulfly is trully flying. i listend to sepultura since arise album so i know what im talking about. buy this dvd if u are a fan of soulfly. you wount be dissapointed. believe you me :)

For all the fans of Soulfly this DVD is a must have, pretty good selection of live performances (it would be great if they have included more)good information from birth of Soulfly to Prophecy.
Go and buy this DVD!!!!

Ever since I saw Slipknot's DISASTERPIECES DVD I got my standards up as far as video quality goes.The Soulfly DVD is crystal clear and has superb sound.Unlike many band DVDs that only feature an hour long live footage,this 1 has an interview/ music video between each live song.Its mostly Max Cavalera talking and he guides you through the past and present of soulfly.Theres some very rare footage caught here too.If you are a fan ull be pleased and if ure just droping by you will drool on the mayhem of Soulfly.

Soulfly's DVD The Song Remains Insane from 2005 is a pretty strong release; consisting of all the bands music videos, assorted live footage from various sources, an entire concert and a fantastic documentary about the band.

The music videos are nice to have, but not what anyone would buy this for and the assorted live footage (featuring a cameo apperance from Biohazard during a tribal drum solo) is a great addition which contains host of songs not in the main concert and a DVD-highlight where Chino Marino joins the band on stage to perform `Pain,' from the band's `Primitive,' album.

The main concert is well filmed, but unfortunately the sound is out of synch with the video and it is therfore pretty annoying, but if you just listen to it in the background the concert is still fantastic, this out of synch problem is a pretty large disappointment for the real meat of the DVD. If you want a full length pro shot Soulfly concert from the Prophecy era that is properly synched, one is available with Digpak editions of the band's sixth album Conquer.

Thankfully this DVD is saved by an excellent Documentary, which is informative, interesting and well edited. The DVD is still a real good buy at the price, and would be worth five stars if the audio in the main concert was in synch with the video.

Even with that flaw in the main feature, the collection of music videos, a great documentary and the other excellent (and in synch) live material are well worth the interest of Soulfly fans. It may not wholly stand up visually to modern metal DVDs but is still worth exploration for fans.

Cool a** DVD with some of Max's awesome hits, really liked the band's live world tour performances, pretty awesome! R.I.P. Dana & Baby Moses "!!!RESPECT!!!"
