Enemy Soil's "Smashes The State Live" DVD, the official collection of some of the band's explosive live performances, will see release in December 2008 in Europe and January 13, 2009 in the United States through Selfmadegod Records. The DVD is a must-have for all of the Enemy Soil fans all over the world that never got a chance to see the influential political grindcore band live, as well as for those who want to see how the various incarnations of the group performed, presented here through raw video originally captured on analog camcorders.Despite being broken up for over a decade, Virginia's Enemy Soil has seen its classic Relapse 7" from the mid-'90s reissued and its select discography, "Smashes the State!" (of which the DVD is a companion release), repressed numerous times. The various members of the band have gone on to form several other bands, not the least of which being City Of Caterpillar and Pig Destroyer, and have gone into such diverse groups as Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Frodus and Drugs Of Faith.
Featuring never-before-seen live footage of 24 songs taken from shows from 1996 to 1998 and the set from the 2001 reunion gig at Cbgb in New York City, "Smashes the State Live" is packed with over an hour of music, including a previously unreleased live-in-the-studio audio recording, a photo and flyer gallery, and liner notes. This marks the first time that video of Enemy Soil is available for a mass audience.
