Release Date: 1991

Label: Propaganda Magazine

This video contains a collection of unusual short films such as "The Trilogy" and "Spirits of the Dead".

"Day Of Wrath" features the song "Heresy" by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, from their album My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - I See Good Spirits And I See Bad Spirits.

From the back cover:
THE TRILOGY is both sacrificial performance art and exorcism, the object of which is to invoke and to banish from our collective subconscious the evil spirit of genocide. It is this spirit which was responsible for the slaughter of 9 million "heretics" by the Holy Inquisition, and the extermination of 14 million "undesirables" by the Third Reich. THE TRILOGY consists of a series of exquisitely styled ritual murders from witch burnings to firing squads, with vampiric altar boys and drunken Nazis swept up in an intoxicating danse macabre. And the eye of the storm is the Angel of Death, personified by an inquisitor priest and an SS officer, both played by the captivating John Koviak - a personage well known to Propaganda enthusiasts. He leads his band of enchanted demons from the witch trials to the death camps, and finally comes face-to-face with his own inevitable doom. It is a panorama of utter darkness, infused with solemn monastic chant and a diabolical instrumental score by MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT. Following this total eclipse of human compassion is SPIRITS OF THE DEAD, a short film in the tradition of Edgar Allen Poe.
(Total running time of both films: 19 minutes.)
