Earache's video rarities set Immortalised 1986-2000 is quite the doozy, containing plenty of hardly seen extreme metal gems from some of the mainstays of the genre and the label. How can you go wrong when you have a DVD set that contains such absolute gems as "Heartwork" by the masters of guitar terror Carcass, the brutally heavy "God of Emptiness" from Morbid Angel, the At the Gates classic "Blinded By Fear", "Dark Age" by Vader, and of course "Wolverine Blues" from the legendary Entombed? In short, you can't, and while some of these videos border on the cheese factor and are severly dated, there's still a certain 'wow' feeling you get from watching these 80's and 90's slabs of video brutality. Other notable nuggets here include the tune "Hopkins (Witchfinder General)" from Cathedral, complete with footage from the Vincent Price film, Napalm Death's "Breed to Breathe" (these guys WERE the band at Earache, along with Morbid Angel, in the beginning), and Bolt Thrower's "Cenotaph". Despite the plethora of cool stuff, there's also some rarities here from bands who perhaps were not such a great fit on the Earache roster, like the rasta-rock upstarts Dub War, the psychedelic blues metal Sabbath/Pentagram/Blue Cheer wannabe's Sleep (cool stuff nontheless), ghetto noise/rap rockers Linea 77, or the gothic strains of Misery Loves Co., all of which clash with the rest of the death metal and hardcore majority. Funniest clip of all here though has to be the barely one minute long "Reality" from horror death metal merchants The Beserker. All I have to say is wait till you get a load of those costumes and masks...
Despite some filler, this is a DVD that you should seek out if you are interested at all in any of these bands and want a hard copy of any of these somewhat rare videos.
