Insurgentes, Lasse Hoile's film about musician Steven Wilson, is released on DVD by Kscope on 8th October. Porcupine Tree are currently enjoying massive success across the world with their latest album, The Incident. Insurgentes is a musical road movie that follows the making of his solo record of the same name, and is a portrait of an increasingly rare artist who works with music and media out of love and not for fame and fortune, persisting in making art on his own terms in a world where 'throw away' mentality is increasingly becoming the norm.
Dutch Doom Death Metal legends ASPHYX are back with another extremely energetic sign of life after their bonecrushing and highly acclaimed “Death…The Brutal Way” studio album comeback from 2009. “Live Death Doom” represents not only the band’s first official DVD release, but it will also be available as 2CD and Digital Download audio-release, actually marking ASPHYX’s first-ever official live album in their 20+ years of (diabolical) existence!
