Few days ago I received the Monsters of Metal vol. 4 double DVD package. Monsters of Metal vol 4 DVD is already from 2005, but it still rocks. As I got the DVD package, my first thought was “oh, yet another Iron Maiden DVD”. This was because of the DVD covers that looked like Iron Maiden album covers. Soon I realized this is not Iron Maiden DVD, but a compilation of the music from many good metal bands.

Monsters of Metal Vol 4 includes two DVD’s full of great metal videos. In the root menu of the DVD you can select individual metal videos, play the whole DVD or play the music without videos. Monsters of Metal Vol 4 DVD includes also a little booklet in which each band is shortly presented in German and in English.

Monsters of Metal Vol 4 double DVD package includes music of different metal genres, such as black metal, death metal and power metal. It starts with Hammerfall’s great track Blood Bound. Next the DVD provides Revolution from Judas Priest and Execration Text from Nile. The first DVD continues with Candlemass, In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork and other great metal bands. Personally I really enjoy Hammerfall, In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork, Anthrax and The Haunted.

The second DVD of Monsters of Metal Vol 4 starts with two boring bands, Gotthard and Subway To Sally. In the third track we can hear Apocalyptica, after which comes Within Temptation and Accept. I really get some kicks when watching Accept’s Balls to the Wall. Man, those guys looked funny in the 80’s! Ghost Love Score live by Nightwish was also pretty good. It reminds me how talented and unique Tarja Turunen was compared to the new singer of Nightwish. In this second DVD another great track is Annihilator’s All For You which wakes up one of the greatest trash metal pioneers.

Monsters of Metal Vol 4 DVD is a pretty good package of metal videos. It covers many genres and provides the top bands of those genres. I am quite satisfied with the bands in this DVD, even though dropping those nu-metal bands out of the DVD would have probably been a good idea. Bands like Agnostic Front, Bleed the Sky and M.O.D. are just waste of time for many death and black metal fans. Certainly some people enjoy those bands as well, but my personal opinion is that this DVD package would be better if it did focus only in heavy, black, death and power metal.

As said earlier, Monsters of Metal 4 is a pretty good package of metal music, but not perfect. The whole package contains 66 metal videos. I have a feeling that the producer of this DVD has tried to cover very many metal genres in order to reach higher number of customers. If I was the producer, I would have focused more in death, black, heavy and power metal.
