SHOCK ROCK MOVIE FILMMAKERS RELEASE EXTENDED TRAILER

January 31, 2023

Shock Rock Movie directors, LORD ZANE (SOCIETY 1) and DAGON DESTROYER, have just released an extended trailer. The public can now watch 7 minutes and 25 seconds of footage now available on Youtube. Familiar faces you’ll see in the film’s trailer are DAVE NAVARRO, JACOBY SHADDIX (PAPA ROACH), KELLY CLARKSON, ALICE COOPER, and WAYNE STATIC (STATIC-X).

The film follows the life of MATT “THE LORD” ZANE, notorious front-man of SOCIETY 1, who is known for his extreme on-stage antics, including body suspension, live orgies, face humping hecklers, and stage masturbation. At one point, Matt Zane was the most famous porn director known for his Backstage Sluts films, which solds millions of copies worldwide. Matt Zane would go on to break several world records, including suspending from 4 meat hooks at Download Festival while he performed with his band in front of a hundred-thousand people.

DAGON DESTROYER (film co-director) comments, “Matt Zane is a character that has always fascinated me. The entertainment industry hates him, and yet celebrities use him for their careers. I’ve seen documentaries on shock rock and shocking performance artists, and Matt Zane is never mentioned. It’s like he’s purposely ignored in an attempt to erase him from history.”

MATT ZANE mentions in the film that the moral landscape is so different now than it was 20 years ago, and that he’s worried about how the band will be received during their 2023 reunion tour.

“The band is getting millions of views on TikTok for stage antics we just won’t replicate in today’s political climate. I know some things will cross the line but others I’m not so sure about. It’s difficult to know how far we’re going to be able to push it in 2023.”

A part of the movie will be filmed on SOCIETY 1’s tour with STATIC-X, FEAR FACTORY, and DOPE in 2023. The filmmakers are currently working with their distributor on the
film’s release date.

DAGON DESTROYER Featured in Cinematic Drum Playthrough of "The Fight Within" by SOCIETY 1!

January 25, 2023

Last week, SOCIETY 1's new single and music video for “The Fight Within” was released, and they've just shared a cinematic drum playthrough video featuring DAGON DESTROYER!

The music video is directed by LORD ZANE and produced by Dagon Destroyer.

Dagon had this to say about the drum play though video, “This was an interesting composition. I go from straight-ahead, four-on-the-floor, industrial type playing to some tribal-fusion flavor. I really enjoyed this song. The drums are subtle and there's some great nuance going on. I hope you enjoy the video.”

LORD ZANE (SOCIETY 1 Front-man) shared his thoughts about reuniting with Dagon again after 20 years, “Working with Dagon after all these years has been the kick in the ass Society 1 music has needed to get to yet another level. His approach to rhythm isn't just about keeping the beat but enhancing the songs musically. The way he approaches riffs and weaves in and out of them just transforms the sound and feel into something truly unique.”

Society 1 Go Viral On TikTok With Over 1 Million Views

January 4, 2023

A recent video clip posted by Society 1 on their TikTok (@Society1lives) has gone viral with over 1 million views. The post is an excerpt of their song "Slacker Jesus" from their 1999 debut album being performed while vocalist Lord Zane suspended by metal hooks pierced through his flesh.

"I know Maynard from TOOL said bands should focus on maintaining their art and older bands reek of desperation that get on TikTok. It's kind of difficult to think like that when you're being seen by millions of people in an entirely new generation." said Zane

Society 1 has been experiencing somewhat of a resurgence since joining the site and posting clips that span their 25 year career. The majority of the interactions have come from Generation Z to the surprise of the band and there doesn't seem to be any slowing down in terms of new interest.

Zane continues, "Dagon Destroyer and I are filming Shock Rock Movie right now and we thought it would be a trip to incorporate the perspective of the younger generation. I'm getting inundated with videos from fans on TikTok (as young as 18), telling me I represent a sort of liberation for them. We've learned during the filming of this movie, and from our TikTok presence, that Gen Z wants to break the chains of the politically correct environment they've been raised in, and that's why shock rock is so intriguing to them."

Society 1 will be on the first half of the Rise Of Machine Tour in 2023

Society 1: Live Concert With 14-Girl Orgy Featured In Shock Rock Movie

December 28, 2022

Shock Rock Movie is in its second month of filming and movie directors, Lord Zane and Dagon Destroyer, have just revealed that the movie will show unreleased footage of a Society 1 performance where 14 girls took the stage and had a live orgy in front of thousands of unsuspecting fans.

"You wouldn't believe it unless we had footage from that night. At the time it was the largest crowd we had ever performed in front of so we thought it would be cool to go overboard with the dancers. Mötley Crüe had a couple dancers on stage back then, we wanted the most of any band ever. What we didn't plan for is the excitement to overcome the women and a spontaneous, full blown orgy to break out. To be honest, by mid set no one was even watching the band. The girls jumped off their platforms in the back and pushed to the front of the stage. We were stepping over naked bodies attempting to not trip over tits and ass for the entire set." said lead vocalist Zane Ear's Rise Of The Machine tour.

Dagon Destroyer comments, “We’ve decided not to hold back with this movie. We’re showing behavior that is considered unacceptable by today’s standards: a massive orgy during a live rock show, hecklers getting face humped, body suspension, and disgusting sexual exploits.”

The movie will cover a side of “shock rock” history that Dagon describes as “covered up by the gatekeepers of the entertainment industry.”

Dagon continues, “Lord Zane gets no respect from the industry. He’s hated by his peers, and his career has been purposely erased, which is why I approached Zane about making this movie. During the height of Zane's career, he was all over MTV and VH1 and in every rock magazine on the news stand. He broke records with live body suspension in front of a hundred-thousand people. He was the most famous porn director alive. Celebrities consistently use Zane for his profound directing and marketing skills, and then consistently screw him over. It's incredibly interesting and gives those who watch this movie a window into the dark side of entertainment.”

Lord Zane and Dagon Destroyer have joined forces to make this film a reality. They will be filming a portion of the movie while on tour with Static-X, Fear Factory, and Dope on next year's Rise Of The
Machine tour.

Society 1 Film Multiple Music Videos For New Music!

December 22, 2022

Society 1’s new album will be released cinematically with music videos and as the soundtrack to the Shock Rock Movie that Lord Zane and Dagon are co-directing.

“We’re set to release two new music videos in January and February to accompany the singles we just did with iconic producer Chris Coller (Korn, Whitesnake). With the overwhelming response from our younger fanbase, Dagon and I decided to take a more cinematic approach to our music in 2023.” said lead vocalist Zane

Dagon Destroyer (Society 1 drummer & filmmaker) is partnering with Lord Zane to support the ambitious visual accompaniment of the music.

Dagon describes his perspective on the collaboration, “I see this new music as the soundtrack to a complete visual experience and story. There is just so much noise out there now and just releasing an album is no longer that interesting to me. My goal in working with Lord Zane is to combine our efforts to reach millions of eyes and in 2023 with visual storytelling and reels. We have everything in place to accomplish this.”

Society 1 will be doing a national tour this spring with Static-X, Fear Factory, and Dope in support of the new music while simultaneously filming for Shock Rock Movie.

Producer Chris Collier (KORN) Mixing New Society 1 Material

December 16, 2022

Chris Collier, the producer of Korn's test album Requiem, is now in the studio with Society 1 mixing two singles that will be released in January and February accompanied by music videos and drum playthrough videos featuring Dagon Destroyer.

"After several weeks of working with the brilliant engineers at Soundlit Studios, and from the feedback regarding the deep musicality and anthemic nature of these songs, we've decided to go all in with this record as it may be our best work. We wanted to get with Chris Collier as we think his style will lend itself to the music." said lead vocalist Lord Zane

Chris Collier has just finished up "The Fight Within" set for release in January and "God To You" which will be released in February in anticipation of Society 1's tour with Static-X, Fear Factory, and Dope.

"I was really impressed with a lot of the musicianship, a lot of the songwriting." said Collier

"We really couldn't be happier with how this musical collaboration is going. Once we got my drums recorded and heard the deep dimensionality
of the music, we decided that this would not just be another album but would serve as the soundtrack to the Shock Rock Movie we're making.
And with every single we release, there'll be a cinematic accompaniment." added Dagon

The clip features never before seen footage of Wayne Static commenting on Lord Zane’s world record for longest body suspension.

“It was just one of those surreal days. I’m hanging six hours with fours hooks breaking the previous record held by Cris Angel and Wayne is there for most of the day. We’re talking, taking pictures, he’s giving interviews about Static X and his thoughts about me. It’s amazing that we found this footage and how perfectly it fits into the film” said Zane

The second month of filming in December is currently being scheduled
between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Various known artist’s within the music industry will be giving their thoughts about the shock rock genre for the film.

Dagon had this to say regarding the production so far, "Wayne Static was one of my heroes growing up and it’s an honor to be able to make a movie that includes never-before-seen footage of him. The first month of production has been surreal and our crew has been extraordinary. December’s schedule is going to be total mayhem. We’ll be filming interviews and sequences with iconic figures in Los Angeles and Vegas."

Society 1 Enter Studio With Dagon Destroyer And Danny Carey of Tool Snare Drum

November 17, 2022

SOCIETY 1 front-man MATT ZANE recently met with a former label Earache Records representative to discuss re-releasing a 20th Anniversary version of their most successful album Exit Through Fear. Unfortunately after some consideration the label decided to pass on
the idea.

"I go to The Rainbow in Hollywood to meet up with our old A&R guy that actually signed us 20 years ago. I basically said to him, you still own the album and I'm unable to do something without you guys. Let me make it easy, we already have a tour booked with STATIC-X, FEAR FACTORY and DOPE, I'll deliver a few alternative versions of songs, re-edit our Download performance and bring back some of the original guys. I thought it was a no-brainer." said Zane

Not owning the rights to the original album led Zane to get creative on how to promote the 20th anniversary and create something special for the fans of the band's most popular era.

"I went back into the digital vaults and found the demos from the writing sessions. PAUL RAVEN (KILLING JOKE, PRONG) was on most of them and BILL KENNEDY (NINE INCH NAILS, MARILYN MANSON, U2) was producing. Those two aren't with us anymore so it was really cool to revisit that stuff"

Now SOCIETY 1 has entered Skylit Sound with drummer DAGON DESTROYER, who toured with the band during the Exit Through Fear era and was featured in the history making "Nothing" video to record four B-Sides that didn't make the original release.

To add to the unique nature of this project Dagon recorded with DANNY CARY'S actual snare drum he used on the TOOL album, Undertow.

Society 1 Members Begin Filming Shock Rock Movie

November 14, 2022

Award winning director MATT "THE LORD" ZANE and co-director DAGON DESTROYER have begun working on a new film exploring the shock rock genre. This will be Zane's follow up to 2022's documentary "TheAltered Noise" which was about his former bandmate DV KARLOFF.

In the new film, DAGON and ZANE will be interviewing various artists as
well discussing their own contributions to the genre that they became
heavily involved with when ZANE began body suspension during the bands
performances in 2002.

In addition to interviews, ZANE's band SOCIETY 1 featuring DAGON on
drums will be followed by a camera crew when they hit the road for
next year's "Rise Of The Machine" tour with STATIC-X, FEAR FACTORY and DOPE.

"This isn't just going to be some rehash of a shock rock documentary.
Yes we'll have the interviews but it's also a story about my personal
experience with body suspension and if shock rock will be accepted in
this political climate during the next tour." said ZANE.

The movie will jump between the present and newly acquired footage of
the band during their most controversial times between the years 2002
and 2006.

"I'm making this film with Lord Zane who is arguably the most extreme
shock rocker of our generation. He suspended, over my drumset by
meathooks when I was only 18-years-old and my life was turned upside
down being subjected to such debaucherous and dangerous behavior while
we were on tour. Two decades later, we've rejoined forces to make a
film that sets out to tell the story of our lower nature and to give
people an insider look at the length performances artists are willing
to go to be remembered." said DAGON.

For more info go to ShockRockMovie.com

"I was 19 years old when we filmed our Nothing music video for the
album Exit Through Fear with Zane suspending over my drumset. The
tours afterward were insane. Everything about Society 1 was insane,
especially for a kid. It's surreal that we're joining forces again
after 20 years and that we're out with Fear Factory and Static-X. It's
a dream for me. These two bands are a huge part of my life." said

Black Level Six Out NOW!

LA Based Industrial Metal band SOCIETY 1 has revealed the official music video for "As I Die." Written by front-man Matt Zane and late, legendary bassist DV Karloff, "As I Die" is off of the band's new album, Black Level Six.

"The album is in memory of DV 'Dirt' Karloff. It is the last album we wrote and recorded together before his passing. The corresponding movie is entitled The Altered Noise. The album Black Level Six is the official movie soundtrack, which includes interviews with Dave Navarro, Raymond Herrera, Matt Zaneand more.

Black Level Six is an experimental album. The idea was to ask the question, "What would a Society 1 album sound like if we recorded it in 1994 in a similar way that Nirvana recorded In Utero?" We heard they recorded the album in 6 days with Steve Albini and, of course, this was before Pro Tools. So some rules were set up for us such as 'no vocal tune' and 'no copying and pasting vocals.'

The music was recorded in 4 days and guitar solos performed by Justin Manning were an additional day. Mixing took 5 days and was done by punk legend Greg Hetson of The Circle Jerks and Bad Religion." - MATT ZANE

The Matt Zane directed The Altered Noise follows Karloff through various phases of his career and also touches upon his incredibly successful profession as a tattoo artist that saw him inking up celebrities such as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Steve-O.

"His life really was interesting, regardless if you're a fan or not. He was
this young guy from the cornfields of Indiana that came out to Hollywood and
within eight months he's touring the world and that was just the
beginning of the story," says Zane.

Dave Navarro Comments On Seeing Society 1 Perform In New Documentary "The Altered Noise"

In the recently released documentary The Altered Noise, directed by Matt Zane, Dave Navarro sat down to discuss his thoughts on seeing Society 1 when they were booked on his 2008 show Spread TV. Within the interview he mentions how Matt Zane is "an incredible frontman" but his attention was pulled immediately to recently deceased former bassist DV "Dirt" Karloff.

"As incredible as a frontman Matt is it was nearly impossible not to
stare at Dirt. " said Navarro

Within the clip Navarro talks about knowing Zane for years and feels
fortunate to have seen Society 1 at that time. Years later Navarro and
Zane would eventually share the stage together performing Static X
material in honor of the late Wayne Static.

Society 1 will continue to perform and just announced 2022 dates with
Static-X, Fear Factory, and DOPE. Jimmy Minj, who will be playing bass, reached out to DV Karloff prior to his passing asking for his blessing
to fill the bass duties.

"I had seen Dirt play in Society 1 numerous times so I reached out to
him. He told me of his current situation and encouraged me to audition, even going so far as to give me some pointers about the songs and Matt’s writing style. Thanks to his help, I was brought in as the new Society 1 bass player and I certainly have to some HUGE shoes to fill!!" said Minj

The Altered Noise follows Karloff through various phases of his career and
also touches upon his incredibly successful profession as a tattoo artist that
saw him inking up celebrities such as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson,
and Steve-O.

Society 1 founder and lead vocalist Matt Zane has directed a documentary about recently deceased former bassist DV Karloff, titled "The Altered Noise". The film, which will be comprised of archived footage from the band’s history as well as new interviews with band members and friends, will focus on Karloff's 15 years in Hollywood.

"His life really was interesting, regardless if you're a fan or not. He was this young guy from the cornfields of Indiana that came out to Hollywood and within eight months he's touring the world and that was just the beginning of the story" - says Zane

The movie follows Karloff through various phases of his career and also touches upon his incredibly successful profession as a tattoo artist that saw him inking up celebrities such as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Steve-O.

Legendary Hip Hop Pioneer DMC (RUN-D.M.C) Featured on New Society 1 Track / Video, "The Man"

Legendary Hip Hop Pioneer DMC (RUN-D.M.C) has been featured on a new Society 1 track / video entitled "The Man," the second collaboration for the band and music icon. With instrumentation written and performed by lead vocalist MATT ZANE and guest drumming by ZAC MORRIS (Ugly Kid Joe,Hed PE, Dorothy, September Mourning) "The Man" appears an unlikely collaboration due to Zane not being known publicly for his songwriting or guitar playing but, unknown to most, he is actually a graduate of MIT for guitar.

Since then Zane has written and licensed multiple songs for various
outlets but took a substantial break the last few years to focus on
his directing career. DMC and Zane met when the late Wayne Static
introduced them, believing Zane would be a good fit for directing the
music video and track "Noise Revolution," which Wayne sang on. After
directing the video, Zane was inspired by the collaboration but was
overwhelmed with music video work which forced his musical aspirations
to be neglected for years to come. After a conscious shift to re-focus
on Zane's band Society 1 he specifically had DMC in mind for a
feature.

"Collaborating with DMC was an absolute dream come true. Before I knew
about The Doors or Jimi Hendrix, RUN-DMC were my gods. My very first guitar lesson I showed up with a copy of 'Raising Hell' because my
teacher asked me to bring in music of my favorite artists...I swear to
you I almost cried when I heard his iconic voice over my music and
playing for the first time. It was a religious experience. I put it at
the same level as when I performed at The Download Festival suspended
with my band Society 1 in front of 80,000 people." - Matt Zane

"Lord Zane creates music that is insane! Powerful, energetic, fun, and
captivating. He gave me that HARD hitting riff ROCKING sound that
takes the King Of Rock to the next level! The beat and the guitars for
the collaboration we did grabbed me in a headlock! The sound,
arrangements and vibe is a force to be reckoned with! He has allowed
me to continue to live my Rock N Roll dream. He’s “ the man” that’s
why I called this song The Man...lol...the music dictated the title
and vibe! This track definitely absolutely and completely ROCKS and
Rolls!!! So move out the way!" - DMC
