Legendary Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider will release “For The Love Of Metal Live!” on July 31 via Napalm Records. For The Love Of Metal Live! isn’t your average live performance DVD/Blu-Ray collection – the epic set combines behind- the-scenes footage, interview clips, insightful personal commentary and electrifying live performances to create an entertaining experience that every heavy metal fan needs in their collection! The DVD/Blu-Ray and accompanying live album (available in various formats) features audio captured from several DEE SNIDER festival performances worldwide – from the United States to Europe, Australia and beyond!
Featuring tracks from Snider’s solo catalog like “I Am The Hurricane” and “For The Love Of Metal”, Twisted Sister favorites such as “I Wanna Rock” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, and even a cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”, the audio portion also features a brand new original track, “Prove Me Wrong” – a thrashing, confident heavy metal hit that cements the legacy of the bonafide metal icon himself! Select audio editions and the DVD/Blu-Ray also feature additional bonus live material and personal footage, with the DVD/Blu- Ray including even more special bonus interview content.
“While live entertainment has been curtailed for now, we cannot let the spirit of live entertainment die within us. Any music I’ve ever loved and listened to, I always imagine what it would be like live. When I was young and couldn’t go to shows, all I had was what I thought the bands would be like live. We must keep our desire to see and hear the great new music out there in concert, because that’s its true habitat. Bands on stage with fans cheering them on in the audience is the way the rock gods intended it to be.” — Dee Snider
In support of the release, Snider has unveiled the official lyric video for “Prove Me Wrong,” which can be seen below.
“‘Prove Me Wrong’ are words that I’ve thought in my head since the day I began rocking. I had a monster chip on my shoulder and dared the world to knock it off… nobody ever could. At this point in my career, I thought I’d let everybody in on what has kept be going all these many years. Prove me wrong!”
