Album Description
Three DVD set by Cannibal Corpse with Centuries of Torment through the Metal Blade Label covering the first 20 years of Cannibal Corpse, an US Death Metal band founded in 1988. The band has released ten studio albums, one boxed set, and one live album. Although Cannibal Corpse has had virtually no radio or television exposure, a cult following began to build behind the group with albums like 1991's Butchered at Birth and 1992's Tomb of the Mutilated. Cannibal Corpse reached over 1 million in record sales worldwide in 2003 including over 500,000 in the US making them one of the biggest selling death metal bands of all time.

 Total Canibal Corpse! October 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!
Very good DVD! October 27, 2008

when i first herd about Cannibal Corpse coming out with a dvd, i was quite hesitant about picking it up. A couple of my friends told me it was very good and to get it. After i got it, i watched it for a week straight. if you are a Cannibal Corpse i highly suggest buying it. it tells you about how the band started, who does their art work, how they right their music and much much more.
Worth every penny August 29, 2008
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.
 One of the most thorough band DVDs I've seen July 29, 2008

As soon as I saw the contents of the DVD a few months before the release, it was clear that this could be one of the best band-related DVDs there is. For me, the best is definitely Evergrey's A Night to Remember, with the hours upon hours of studio work, backstage footage and interviews, all wrapped up with a very good live show.
Centuries of Torment comes very close to that level, but unfortunately it is the live show part that falls ever so slightly short. Personally I've never been a fan of compilation live footage, with material from several different shows with constantly changing audio/video quality. If you prefer it like that, this is a nice DVD. It has clips from many different years and places with few tracks appearing twice. I was horrified when the main girth of the live shows, the Toronto 2006 show, started off in extremely poor sound quality. Luckily the sound picked up after a few songs. Maybe they had technical problems at the mixing/recording desk?
But the interviews and history told by the band themselves, and pretty much anyone who ever had something to do with the band, really makes up for the slight live show troubles. This is definitely one of the most thorough band DVDs I've seen, including the Evergrey one. Nothing is left untouched, and the Bonus Chunks part really goes out there with the bizarre tidbits - delicious!
Overall for the price (especially ordering from Finland, with the Euro being very strong vs. the US Dollar), this is simply an awesome package. The packaging artwork and holographic coating is also very cool, wrapping up this piece into one great release!
 Centuries of Torment review July 27, 2008
The documentary on the life of the band was totally awesome. That was worth the purchase of the dvd alone. However, the live videos were crap. When I bought this I was, I was primarily buying this for the live stuff. I didn't expect all the live vids to be top quality (like the one's from the 90's), but I expected the one's from '00 an on to at least be digital, which they were not. The sound quality of all the live songs and video quality of most live songs looked and sounded like they were taken from a video camera. Needless to say I was let down on that part.
