The second disc is a hour and a half long documentary covering the bands formative underground years in Eastern Massachusetts, to their rise in popularity. Along with this there are multiple interviews from band members of bands such as Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, Lamb of God, All That Remains and As I Lay Dying.

For the live performance part of the DVD Blabbermouth.net wrote "This one is worth watching over and over again. The only thing that keeps the DVD from being a perfect 10 is that between-song banter, etc is edited out (rather than capturing the performance front to back with no interruption),and that's a very minor bitch. As for the second disc they stated "the documentary is informative, entertaining, and funny as hell."[8]
