"I am happy to be the first person to review this outstanding DVD from the Genitorturers. Their first DVD was so sick that it was unwatchable, but this one is pure art and purely enjoyable. The main body of the DVD is comprised of ten live video-like clips (which sound good enough to have been recorded in a studio, which they probably were). There are three new songs, with two of them absolutely awesome ("Cum Junky" and "Devil in a Bottle"). They are definitely going for a more straight-forward rock sound on their next album. Other than those songs, pretty much all of their great songs are here (with the exception of "120 Days"). I could have done without the Sin City stuff, but the songs from Flesh is the Law definitely make up for it.
All of the videos are very beautiful and artistic to watch. There are a lot of effects on the screen (different words, flames, different shading of the screen, etc.) which are really cool to the eye. And of course, there is the one-of-a-kind stage show featured which has made the Genitorturers the favorite that they are.
There aren't a lot of bad things to say about this DVD. It is absolutely worth every cent it costs. The only drawback I think is the disturbing stage stunt they do during the entire song "House of Shame." That's probably my favorite song by the band & I can't really watch it because the stunt is so weird.
Again, this DVD is nothing like their god-awful "Society of Genitorture" thing they put out about ten years ago which was just disgusting. This is live performance at its best. The music is great, the band members are very charismatic on stage (in particular Gen and the mighty David Vincent), and finally the Genitorturers have achieved the full potential of the sublime persona that they present to the world. Definitely five stars."
