Norwegian Black Metal legends SATYRICON have recently signed a worldwide deal with Austrian metal label Napalm Records for release of their upcoming DVD Live At The Opera!

This very special release of Satyricon's Live At The Opera is set to be released in Europe on May 1st & on May 5th 2015 in North America via Napalm Records. It will contain the full performance DVD and double CD of this exclusive and unique concert by the legendary Satyricon.

Watch a preview of Live At The Opera here!

“This is not “Satyricon – Best Of from the Opera”, this is a show! The perfect parts need to go in there, but also the parts that are not so perfect. That`s the nature of it, that`s the real deal. It's not a live album. It's a celebration of what Satyricon stands for as a band.” commented mastermind Satyr.

To celebrate their upcoming DVD release, SATYRICON will be hitting the road for an extensive European tour alongside with Norwegian support acts in Oslo Faenskap and Vredehammer. Catch them live on the following dates:

For nineteen-year-old Jay, Autumn should be about school, boys and week-ends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, something, is following her. Faced with this burden, Jay and her friends must find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind.

Since 1990, Chicago electro-rock mainstays Sister Machine Gun have been making ground-breaking records and playing incendiary live shows. With four albums on the pioneering Wax Trax! label, and six more releases on the band's own Positron! Records, SMG's extensive catalog explores just about every genre of modern music, from electro-funk dance to Hendrix-flavored industrial strength rock. After a solo album and EP, Chris Randall, has re-fired Sister Machine Gun and delivers 5 new tracks on the Future Unformed EP.

SMG songs have been featured in MTV's The Real World, TNN and Fox Sports Re:Evolution of Sports, OceanWatch Aventure Television programs as seen on the Outdoor Life Network, ESPN2 and TNN, the Microsoft Xbox game Amped2, as well as several feature films.

Arrow Video is delighted to announce its release of Alexander Mackendrick’s darkly cynical Sweet Smell of Success, a ferociously clear-eyed study of the seamier side of American journalism and the cult of celebrity.

Starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, the film took two of the era’s biggest stars, cast them against type not merely as villains, but as men so calculatedly amoral that each successive scene saw them plumbing new depths of degradation. Sweet Smell of Success will arrive on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from 30^th March 2015.

This new edition comes with an exciting array of extra features, most notably a 4K digital transfer from the original camera negative. The disc will also include Dermot McQuarrie’s 1986 documentary Mackendrick: The Man Who Walked Away which features interviews with Mackendrick, Burt Lancaster, producer James Hill and many others. Alongside this is a new appreciation of the film by critic and film historian Philip Kemp, author of Lethal Innocence: The Cinema of Alexander Mackendrick, who has also recorded a selected-scene commentary.

The reversible sleeve will showcase both the original and the newly commissioned artwork by Chris Walker and the disc will also feature a collector’s booklet with new writing on the film by Michael Brooke and Mackendrick’s own analysis of various script drafts, illustrated with original stills and artwork.

Synopsis

One of the darkest films ever to come out of the Hollywood mainstream – both literally and figuratively – this spellbindingly cynical study of Machiavellian media machinations in a neon-drenched New York City was the first and best American film by Alexander Mackendrick, who already had several Ealing Studios classics on his CV (Whisky Galore, The Man in the White Suit, Mandy, The Ladykillers) when he crossed the Atlantic.

Considering his star status, Burt Lancaster was famously fearless when it came to risking audience sympathies, and he gives one of his most memorable performances as ruthless gossip columnist J.J. Hunsecker, who’ll go to any lengths to break up his sister’s unsuitable romance, even if it means destroying the reputation of press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis).

Brilliantly scripted by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman from the latter’s autobiographical short story, and filmed in gleaming monochrome by legendary cinematographer James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success is one of the greatest and most clear-eyed of all American films, lifting up the stone of Fifties decorum and unflinchingly revealing what was crawling underneath.
