Movie Reviews of Zao: Lesser Lights of Heaven
Movie Review: Absolutely Essential!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is perfect. If you are a Zao fan at all you need this. The 3 1/2 hour documentary is totally engaging. I watched it all the way through in one sitting and wasn't even the slightest bit bored. It tells you everything you've always wanted to know and more. It starts with the first incarnation of zao and also talks about what current members were doing at the time. It even talks about past bands they were in ( Seasons in the Field, Pensive, Creation is Crucifixion, Chapter). The live footage is great too although it's secondary to the great documentary. If you are a little too pc, you may be shocked with the foul language, drinking, smoking, etc., but get over it and enjoy this. I can't recommend this enough for anybody with even the slightest interest in Zao. Amazing.
Summary of Zao: Lesser Lights of Heaven
In their 10+ years of existence, one could say that ZAO has definitely had enough highs and lows to make for a great documentary. Now with over 200,000 records sold over their career, that time has finally come as Ferret releases the band?s (and the label?s) first ever DVD, "The Lesser Lights Of Heaven".This 2-DISC, 6-HOUR DVD, is directed by Alternative Press writer and longtime friend and manager Ryan J. Downey. It captures the band from their beginnings in Greensburg, PA, and follows them as they crossover their faith-based hardcore music to the masses. ZAO tells their story in their own words in a revealing full-length documentary. It including interviews with several ex-members, A&R folks, producers and friends and a multitude of footage shot over the years by professionals and fans.
This release also has, not one, but THREE full-length concerts, including: a full live set from this summer's "Strhess Tour" shot in San Diego, California; a full live set from January's "Praise The War Machine" tour shot in Pomona, California; and over a dozen songs from various eras.
In addition, there is live footage from over the years, including the infamous show where the band broke up onstage, as well as Cornerstone and Warped tour footage capturing the band in front of tens of thousands of people.
