Society 1 Fearing the Exit
Published May 01, 2005
One of Earache's stranger bands, Society 1 rides some kind of line between nu metal, industrial and goth zaniness that I've never really cared to spend too much time with. However, if that's your thing, it must be said that this DVD is worth checking out. With a fun documentary, three promo vids, a live set, "behind the scenes" footage and another concert dubbed "The Suspension Show," during which singer Matt Zane is suspended from chains hanging from the ceiling connected to piercings on his back (very painful to watch), this is good value for the buck. But man, these guys are annoying to look at; it's definitely one for the teen angst crowd. And coming out on stage carrying a cross, and then suspending yourself on it? Give us a break.
