Decline Of Western Civilization Box Set Coming This Spring


. (Classic Rock) Penelope Spheeris' iconic Decline Of Western Civilization documentaries focusing on the US punk and metal scene are to be released as a box set in on June 30.

The original Decline Of Western Civilization was released in 1980 and highlighted the hardcore-punk scene in Los Angeles. Second installment The Decline Of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years followed in 1988 featuring artists including Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Faster Pussycat, Poison and Kiss.

The film famously featured W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes drinking in his mother's pool and Ozzy Osbourne cooking bacon in a leopard-print dressing gown.

The final film followed 10 years later and concentrated on homeless gutter punks in LA. The anthology will be released on DVD and Blu-ray via Shout! Factory and comes with a bonus disc. Read more here.
