MVD Entertainment Group has circled Friday, Apr. 24, on its release calendar for the DVD debut of documentary filmmaker Adam Dubin’s Murder In The Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story.

Documentary filmmaker and music aficionado, Adam Dubin, has delivered music videos and documentary films either for, or about, the likes of the Beastie Boys and Metallica, and then he shifted over to a series of videos and shorts featuring comedian Lewis Black.   He’s been at this for 30 years and has pretty much been there, done that and seen it all.

With Murder In The Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story, Dubin returns to his music roots and takes us back to the early 1980s for a head-banging trip down thrash metal memory lane.  The venues, the record stores that supported them and the underground publications that were home to the Bay Area rogue rockers are all here.

Plus he has assembled interview sessions with the band members from Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer to Anthrax, Death Angel, Testament and Kirk Hammett’s Exodus … and more.   And get this, actor and comedian Brian Posehn (Mr. Show with Bob and David, The Devil's Rejects, Sleeping Dogs Lie) does the narration (that should be fun).

As to extras, there is a commentary option featuring filmmaker Adam Dubin, and even after fans have savored the full film and enjoyed Dubin’s insights, MVD Entertainment Group has even more in the way of bonus extras!!   There is a whopping 73 minutes worth of extra “Thrash” divided up into 28 separate segments, ranging from “More Megadeth” to a “Tribute to Wes Robinson” (founder of the famous Ruthie's Inn in Berkeley) and more … a regular treasure trove of extras.
