Metallic punk hammered out with raw hardcore
fury, WORLD BURNS TO
DEATH's Cease to Exist is the companion piece to
their recent
Totalitarian Sodomy LP. Combining the audio from
the LP with
additional sounds and synching it with live video
from their
appearance and performance of the LP tracks at the
924 Gilman Prank
Records ten year anniversary show in 2005 as well
as some Texas live
shows. Shot with multiple camera angles and
extensively edited and
altered over the last two years. The live footage
is combined with
collage and found elements. The DVD further
underlines the stark and
brutal vision of the bands lyrics, with a visual
aesthetic akin to
the early '80's UK industrial scene, a la
Whitehouse, Nurse With
Wound, etc., as well as the bombastic energy of
classic punk videos.
It is gritty, grainy, kinetic, monochromatic, and
sure to leave a
lasting impression seared into one's psyche.
Totalitarian Sodomy was
a stark treatise on the senseless repetition of
historical genocide,
and with that, this DVD is not for the weak
stomached. Always
pushing barriers with their outlandish and severe
record covers this
visually falls in line artistically on that point.
DVD is initially
limited to 1,000 copies, and is packaged in a
deluxe hard bound
leatherette DVD case with foil stamped exterior.
