Relapse Records' follow-up to their first RECOLLECTION DVD, which provided a look back over the label's history with very rare videos from their artists; this collection once again delivers hard, high-energy music videos from the heavyweights of the genre. Mastodon plays a compelling blend of metal, hardcore, and grind that defies categorization, while the Bay Area sextet Neurosis makes their presence felt with their particular brand of emotional, complex doom metal that is by turns psychedelic, claustrophobic, and almost orchestral. The self-described ithyphallic metal played by South Carolinians Nile is a brutal, dynamic whirlwind of driving force, while Burnt by the Sun offers a meticulously crafted, nuanced metal/hardcore that is as brutal as it is virtuoso. All 17 of these videos provide a rare look at the bands and the label that have shaped the sound of heavy music today, many of which have never before been available.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Interactive Features: Graphic Menu ScreensTracks: 1.March of the Fire Ants - Mastodon 2.Sarcophagus - Nile 3.Stones from the Sky - Neurosis 4.Forlani - Burnt by the Sun 5.One Shot, One Kill - Dying Fetus 6.Sculpt the Lives - Burst 7.The Descent - Today is the Day 8.My Relationship - Disrhythmia 9.One - Amorphis 10.From Sacrifice to Survival - Skinless 11.Synthetically Revived - Suffocation' 12.Solarburn - Alchemist 13.The Tide - Neurosis 14.Her (Inamorata) - The End 15.Redundant - Cephalic Carnage 16.Skin Strip - Vidnaobmana 17.My Kantele (Acoustic Reprise) - Amorphis
