Lamb of God - Killadelphia
They may sound like the angel of death breaking down one's front door, but behind the scenes thrash-metal band Lamb of God turn out to be a wine-drinking, practical joke-playing, wife-loving bunch with a penchant for worldly debates and such healthy thrills as sky diving. Part concert footage, part fly-on-the-wall video documentary of the ups and downs of a road tour,Lamb of God: Killadelphiacould easily entertain the most stubborn of metal haters with its lively peek at the band at work and play between shows. Whether dealing with rental truck breakdowns, show delays, radio interviews, in-store appearances, late arrivals of equipment, or dazzled fans, the members of Lamb of God and their handful of assistants keep their cool with fluent wit, easygoing camaraderie, and unabashed romanticism (meeting up with band members' spouses is one of the highlights ofKilladelphia). Meanwhile, Lamb of God's grinding, apocalyptic wall of sound, especially singer Randy Blythe's croaking, monster vocals, whip a Philadelphia crowd into a hellbound fury. Special features include three music videos, including an uncensored "Now You've Got Something to Die For."--Tom Keogh
