Hate Eternal DVD Trailer Available Online

Filmed live in London June 4 2006 at The Garage, 'The Perilous Fight' shows Hate Eternal at their best. Coming at the end of an extensive US and European touring period that saw them bring Real Death Metal to new audiences by touring with the likes of Hatebreed, Chimaira and Arch Enemy, and featuring stand in drummer Reno Killerich, filling the drum stool vacated at the 11th hour by Derek Roddy, the band are tight and focused from the off.

Raging through 12 tracks selected from all their albums, the band blast, grind and pummel their way through the set with malice and intent. Rutan is also well known for spending years as part of the Morbid Angel line (a role he recently reprised) and works the crowd like a veteran, stoking the fires that little bit more throughout the performance.

The extras include an interview with the band immediately post-gig, where Rutan describes at length the reasons for his chosen musical path and how he has overcome the various obstacles thrown up during the band's existence. Additionally, all of the band's promo videos are included, in particular the unreleased clip for 'The Victorious Reign' filmed by Shane Drake (Trivium, Hawthorne Heights, Panic! At the Disco). Rutan also takes us on a tour of his own Mana Recording Studios, scene of much of his production work on bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Job for A Cowboy and of course, Hate Eternal.

With live sound expertly mixed by Rutan himself and artwork by Paul Romano (Mastodon), 'The Perilous Fight' is the definitive Hate Eternal audio-visual document.

You can watch the trailer online at YouTube. More...
