DVD

In 1993, a year after the album hit stores, the Male performance was released as concert film on VHS by Self Immolation/Atavistic. Instead of a straight video of the concert, the Male film applies simple video effects to the raw footage. A DVD version of the film was released by Music Video Distributions in 2003.
