After reading the details of this dvd, I thought it would be sorta like a "Heavy Left-Handed And Candid 2." To my amazement, this turned out to be much more. Only into the band's 2nd year of being signed to Roadrunner Records, it's very convenient to have a new Cradle Of Filth dvd out now. The live audio is near perfect with the performance not lacking much of anything. The style of how the concert was filmed is pretty similar to Heavy Left-Handed, which is not a big deal. It's just what you'd like to see if you were there at the show. You get a 90+ minute live performance filmed in Paris, a new "shockumentary" featuring segments from studio footage during the making of Nymphetamine, the band on tour, orchestra recordings for Damnation And A Day, and a lot more. Plus all the band's best videos: Her Ghost In The Fog, No Time To Cry, A Promise of Fever, Manniquin, Babylon A.D., and Nymphetamine. Also look out for special guests such as Bam Margera, Adam Dutkiewicz from Killswitch Engage, and producer/Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano. This dvd is a must-have if you're a fan.

Look for the band's new album to be released in 2006.

I haven't gotten to finish watching Peace Through Superior Firepower but partly that's because there's so much stuff on it. It has a full live concert, a full collection of their videos, a documentary piece that was just hilarious, a photo gallery, web-links, and more. Money well spent.

There are a number of high points. One of them is the inclusion of the video for their cover of The Sisters of Mercy's "No Time to Cry." The video is both haunting and lovely, and even has footage of nuns making out. It's the complete package. I think the version, itself, is brilliant. It does what I think any good cover song does. It is both unmistakeably CoF and unmistakeably still the original song. It was also cool to have the video for "Her Ghost in the Fog," one of my favorite CoF tracks, included.

Since I didn't see them on their last tour, it was also great to catch up with their live show. No big suprises, but they did add some new acrobatic routines (yes, I'm serious) to their show. I was a little disappointed that they chose to do the single version of "Nymphetamine" instead of the much longer album version. Also, I suspect they sweetened the mix quite a bit. That's allowed, of course, but it's noticeable, which is bad.

The documentary was called a "shockumentary" on the DVD menu, and they weren't kidding. Within five minutes of the beginning, you've already seen a guy skateboarding naked and groupies engaged in oral sex with each other. Things only go downhill in this video chock full of explosions, dude's french kissing each other, fox urine used as beverage, and way too much drinking. Revolting and hilarious.

At the other end of the scale was an interesting look at the Budapest Symphony recording some music for their Damnation and a Day album. Some interview footage with Dani Filth also gives viewers a quick peek into what appears to be his home, which includes what appears to be a life-sized replica of King Tut's golden sarcophagus next to a scarab beetle specimen case. Also of note is footage of Doug Bradley of Hellraiser fame doing one of his many voice-overs for the band. You actually don't see Doug, (maybe he wouldn't sign a release) but you get to hear the raw version of the voice-over. It makes for an interesting comparison with the effects-laden version that appeared on the album.

ive been waiting a long time to see something new from this band on tape seeing how they dont come thru the states alot. finally we have "Peace Through Superior Firepower". i am a fan of both the "old" music and the newer stuff they put out and i was more than happy about there set list. and much like there "Heavy left handed and candid" dvd they covered every album except for Bitter Suites on this dvd. Black Goddess Rises from "Principle" and TBGR is one of my favorite songs of theres. "The Forest Whispers my Name" from Vempire. A Gothic Romance from Dusk (i cant believe they played that song). 13 Autumns and a Widow from Cruelty (at one point in the song Dani loses pace with the music and waves his hands around). Cradle to Enslave" Tortured Soul Assylum from Midian. a few from Damnation and a few from Nymphetamine. so basically you have a little of all cradle stages and of coarse there are the girls doing crazy stuff on stage along with gargoyles and there is some crazy looking skywalker in there too. the live footage itself was unreal and the setlist was well worth the money but then there are extras. you get some videos like, Nymphetamine, Her Ghost in the Fog, Mannequin and others. there is some footage of there cd signing at a Virgin Records store and yet another Shockumentary. the begining was a little stupid because it was 5 or so minutes of Bam Margera and it kinda annoys me to see him in a Cradle dvd so whatever. the footage is Cradle on tour and the making of Nymphetamine and Damnation and a Day. well worth the money, and also for you Filthy fans, Cradle is putting out there 12th cd out in 2006! make sure you look out for that

THIS IS A MUST HAVE DVD FOR ANY CRADLE FAN OR METAL FAN IN GENERAL!!!!!

I just got this this and it was EXCELLENT. Incldue an hour's worth of backstage tour and studio footage where you can see they enjoy blowing stuff up when they are bored. Even get to see Paul pull of some of his martial arts moves, and see the talked about inncident where James drinks some fox p*ss. Video and sound quality were great, and the concert on the DVD was great as well as the videos. I recommend for any hardcore COF fan!
