VOD Archives:Volume 2 Live '93 & Europe '95-'96

The Godfathers of South African Metal - unleashed on DVD for the very first time! After a decade's silence, the long anticipated V.O.D reunion tour hit South Africa in February / March 2009. This renewed focus on the country's most influential Metal band has led to the combining of their two home video releases from '93 & '96, plus two new featurettes on one 3 hour V.O.DVD. VOICE OF DESTRUCTION arose from a turbulent mid-‘80s South Africa as an anti-establishment Punk/Hardcore band. By the late-‘80s the ever evolving sound had reached its Crosscore height. It was however by the early ‘90s when its most potent and congruent line-up of Greg, Francois, Diccon and Paul took its final transformation into the Metal act in Africa to which every new band would try and measure up. Always one step ahead of all the hardcore, underground and extreme bands of its time, V.O.D toured regularly around South Africa. Besides being the first South African Metal band to record an album abroad for their German record label, and embarking on a full European tour in ’96, V.O.D was also one of the first heavy local bands to produce an extensive home video with live footage and general madness ensuing in the year ’93, leading up to their 2 year stint abroad. Welcome To South Africaaargh!!! - Live ’93, as well as the extended documentation of their European adventure ('96) with additional unseen footage, has been resurrected for this DVD. Besides live footage in South Africa and all across Europe, studio sessions, music videos, on-&off-stage chaos, and life on the road, supplementary material include two new featurettes: A Brief History (a year-by-year rundown of the band's time-line), and Before The Storm (a look at the first rehearsal session after ten years, in preparation for the 2009 reunion tour). The definitive documentary on V.O.D is currently in pre-production for a 2010 release. Vocalist Francois is also the voice of the band K.O.B.U.S., and drummer Paul one of the key members of TERMINATRYX] Format: DVD - Dual Layer (PAL) Running Time: 3 Hours a Flamedrop Production released by ENT Entertainment
