Monsters of Metal in order

For 25 years, Nuclear Blast have been one of the most authoritative leaders in the world of metal releases, working with a stock of the genre’s leading acts including Arsis, Meshuggah, Decapitated, Nile, Psycroptic, All Shall Perish, and Testament. For the past 8 years, the label has released a compilation annually, entitled Monsters Of Metal, which compiles videos and music from many of their artists. 10 films, 29h 30m in all, in release order.

Monsters of Metal Vol. 1
2003 · 240 min
Monsters of Metal gives no quarter, cramming 50 videos by 50 different metal bands onto two discs. You name the place and the sound, and it's here: from all over Europe (England, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, and Denmark), the U.S., Canada, and Brazil comes hard rock in all shapes and styles, from radio-friendly pop-metal to heavier thrash and speed-metal to extreme forms like gothic, industrial, and death metal. If you're already a fan of the genre, you can discover bands you most likely haven't heard before; if you're not, four hours of head-banging probably won't change your mind. But for those already converted, here's a golden opportunity to widen your metal outlook: Brazil's thrash-metal quartet Sepultura's heavy-duty cover of U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky" and stalwarts Iron Maiden's live version of its classic "Run to the Hills" are the exceptions to the rule of unfamiliar or new bands showing off their considerable metal chops.

Monsters of Metal Vol. 3
2006 · 260 min
Bands like Nightwish, Edguy, Machine Head, Apocalyptica and Iced Earth, all to be found on this DVD, can really stand their ground against their pop colleagues. If these video clips can not be found on TV, then the congenial DVD-series brings it to your screen. Nothing that can not be shown, every metal genre essential release, and no act too small. That is what I call a perfect co-existence.
