“Music Of Mass Destruction" is the very first DVD from New York's thrash kings Anthrax. And a very good one it is, recorded live at The Metro in Chicago, USA on their tour supporting "We've Come For You All" back in December 5, 2003. With some additional footage shot from their show the following evening at The Machine Shop in Flint.

The sound is outstanding, the footage is excellent and Anthrax is really giving you value for your money with a great live show, the extra material is OK - with some fun stuff from the tourbus, just take a look at a very drunk guitarist eating maybe the most disgusting sandwich ever made ... hilarious! Musically we are treated with classics like: "Got The Time", "Caught In A Mosh", "Antisocial" and "Indians" and combined with newer stuff like: "Safe Home", "Room For One More" and "Only" we get sort of the best of both worlds ...

The package include a CD with most of the songs from the same show, and is a nice addition to this overall great package, which I can only recommend to all Anthrax fans and to fans of good old school thrash metal, because this is like I said before great value for your money.
