Anthrax's long-awaited live-in-concert DVD Kings Among Scotland is just a couple of weeks away from its April 27th release date, and the video's producer/director, Film24Productions' Paul M. Green (Opeth, The Damned) had a few words to say about the making of it.

In this short video, Green talks about the intensity of the audience, the power, and how that presented a bit of a challenge when it came to his giving direction to his camera operators.  

"I've been in this for sixteen years," said Green, "and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever felt such power at a concert in my life. We had these noise reduction headsets so we could communicate with each other, and it was so noisy, even with all that technology, people were not quite hearing what I was saying. The power of it was unbelievable. And I was at the back of the auditorium so god knows what it would have been like in front of the speakers. Anthrax are legends, what more can you say?"

The two-hour Kings Among Scotland was filmed on February 15th, 2017 at the band's sold-out concert at Barrowland Ballroom, the historic venue in Glasgow. The disc incorporates the band's entire live show, and includes gems like "Madhouse," "I Am the Law," "Breathing Lightning" and "Indians." The disc also features interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and other B-roll shot on the band's tour bus, backstage, in hotels and elsewhere, plus a "gear rundown" from each of the band members.

Kings Among Scotland will be available in CD (audio only), DVD and digital formats (both video), and can be pre-ordered at anthrax.com. When ordered digitally, the purchaser will receive "Breathing Lightning" (live) instantly.
