German thrash metallers ASSASSIN are set to release their first-ever DVD Chaos And Live Shots on the following release dates via SPV/Steamhammer:

Germany: November 23rd

Europe: November 26th

USA/Canada: January 29th

March 2010 saw eight cameras witness Assassin conquer Osaka, Japan, pulling out all the stops at the True Thrash Fest. Directed/produced by Julius Krenz, this unusual double DVD is a good three hours long, presenting a number of the most important Assassin songs from the past 25 years and documenting the ordinary madness of an extraordinary band.

‘Uncle Tom’ Angelripper has his say, and the guys from VIOLENT FORCE and DEATHROW also feel called upon to voice their reminiscences, complemented by comments from original Assassin drummer Psycho Danger, the band’s first manager, and various ex-bassists. And in between, there are lots of hard-as-nail thrash metal tracks courtesy of Assassin.

According to a press release, "there is blood and gore all over the place, smelly feet in a car with closed windows, and as if that wasn’t enough, there are roadies crawling through grotty attics, interspersed with wild parties, plenty of drugs and hectolitres of alcoholic beverages – somehow you can’t make up your mind which of these countless choleric excesses of a wonderfully and thoroughly uncivilised cohabitation you’d most like to have been a part of."
