Recorded live at the Sheffield Leadmill in October 2004, Hell for Heroes' latest DVD, is a demonstration of intensity, emotion and intelligent musicianship.  With their second album, ‘Transmit Disrupt’, on the shelves and a UK tour with Biffy Clyro under their belts, the band's success story continues to snowball.

Justin Schlossberg (vocals), when describing the performance, says: “The show felt like a celebration. The outside world didn't matter and the cameras were just flies on the walls.” That focus is evident on this DVD, as the band go through a range of emotions that manically shift between raging metal and grooving rhythms to delicate clean guitar passages.

Filmed in 5.1 Surround Sound, the DVD includes several special features including backstage and soundcheck footage from the gig, interviews with the band, promo videos for ‘Kamichi’ and ‘Models For The Programme' and a short film featuring the band.
