Skateboarding Reviews - Videos & DVDs

Mike Sutfin did the cover art that makes Cataclysmic Abyss stand out on the shelf next to all the other sk8 vids. Looking more like a metal album cover, Mike has done a lot of fantasy art for the likes of Magic: The Gathering trading cards and products, covers and interiors of roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons and Shadowrun.

If you're wondering if the music matches the cover art... it does indeed in most instances. Cataclysmic Abyss starts off with the ever-popular backwards-record-spin in which we hear a groaning satanic voice saying "Cataclysmic Abyss" which leads to the first part and a festive death-maetal track. Comprised of such metal and rock tracks, the music is well matched to the video.

The fast pace and feel of this 40-minute flick makes it a pleasant change to the recent offerings by skate companies. It is available in two versions. A translucent blood red DVD case that includes a Cataclysmic Abyss poster and a Limited Edition version that is in 7" record style packaging and includes a two sided poster and a Foundation stencil. With wither version, you can't go wrong with a double sided poster that's folded enough times to place determined wrinklage across every portion of the art. I love the way the light shimmers off the wrinkles in blinding strips of reflective annoyance.

Everyone has full parts and they all kill.
