Movie Reviews of Cannibal Corpse: Centuries of Torment
Movie Review: Don't expect Live Cannibalism 2 or anything of that nature
Summary: 5 Stars
Like the title of the review says, Centuries Of Torment isn't meant to be Live Cannibalism 2. So if that's what you're expecting, you're likely to be disappointed. It's more like what 15 Year Killing Spree was, but more of a visual history of the band. Disc 1 is a 3 hour documentary on 20 years of the band, from the early days to today. All of the members, old and current are featured (with the exception of guitarist Bob Rusay), including original vocalist Chris Barnes. 20 years seems like a lot to cram in, and 3 hours is a long time, but if you're patient, it's worth viewing. Disc 2 has live performances from 1989 to 2007. I've loved both eras of the band, but the more recent footage shown is better not because of the performance, but the audio quality. You're kinda reminded of Monolith Of Death when you're watching the older footage on here. While that dvd wasn't a total disaster, it wasn't worth buying. The more recent footage from 2005-2007 is where the quality improves. The Toronto 2006 show is probably my favorite one eventhough the sound is tinny at first, but it improves by the middle of the second song. Second favorite performance is Party.San 2005. If you didn't get enough from the first disc, Disc 3 shows extra footage where they talk about artist Vince Locke, the ban on their first three albums, fan tattoos, Metalocalypse, merch, lyrics, and more. I'm sure that there may be some stuff missing from the documentary, but then it'd probably end up being 4 hours long. Either way, if you're a fan, buy this now.Movie Review: cannibal corpse forever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This box set IS the essential purchase for all cannibal corpse fanatics.
every important live performance short and long is here (regardless of quality).
every uncensored music video in the bands catalog (not including evisceration plague) including two banned from mtv2's hbb for being too gory is here.
for the history documentary everything minus the bands censorship issues in
germany and abroad(which should be able to be seen on youtube)are here.this doc
is aproximately 3 minutes shy of 3 full hours.
i would love to see cc issue a dvd covering all the censorship problems they have had to deal with from the beginning to current, WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.
if you don't have evisceration plague yet? be true to the gore and get your
copy in two disc digi-pak format NOW!
I have been a worshipper of this band since 1990 and thanks to this band i'm a proud
gorehound dvd videophile. blood, guts and gory to all whom bow to the corpsegrinder!! for you are all worthy:) and remember, otto backwards is still otto.
Movie Review: Total Canibal Corpse!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's my review of this awesome product.
Disc 1
History of the band
First DVD explains thoroughly the history of the band (music, line-up, recording of the albums), from the very beginnings to the actual days, all spiced up with friends interviews, opinions from other bands and even words from Metal Blade Records personal.
Disc 2
Live footage
Second disc covers several live presentations of the band. Let's be honest, the old stuff doesn't sound as good as the recent concerts but I think it has its own value (Buffalo gig is memorable)
Disc 3
Extra stuff
Know about Cannibal Corpse fan's tattoos, censorship problematic, insight on band's members, discussion of the lyrics, and even a crazy short film based on the Butchered at Birth album cover.
I really like the packaging: A nice hot-stamped (shinny copper) embossed case that will standout from your DVD collection! I strongly recommend to get a copy while you wait for the new album which is being recorded now!
Movie Review: ESSENTIAL viewing for the devout Corpse fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. The first disc alone, covering the history of the band is almost worth the price of admission. Interviews with all band members, past and present (except Bob Rusay), friends, crew, and members from other metal bands give us a very clear picture of the development of the band from day 1.
The live performances sometimes suffer from bad sound, but overall, it's still amazing to watch, especially the older footage.
Disc 3 contains many sections that cover everything from album art, life on the road, the bandmembers' side projects, etc.
All in all, this is absolutely essential viewing for any hardcore fan of the mighty Cannibal Corpse. I laughed out loud quite a few times during the course of the history and the "extras" discs.
If you're a true fan, you MUST get this.
Movie Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD set is worth every penny. Footage from the early days, more recent footage as well. You get up close and personal with the band members. What's even better is that Chris Barnes, who I respect but do not fancy, is here to bring his testimonial.
To be mentioned : great editing work. The story flows very professionally. It's something I can't say about Lamb of God's "Walk with me in Hell" DVD.
Go buy it, you won't regret it.
