Archive de la Morte explained

Archive de la Morte (French for "Archive of Death") is a DVD released by American heavy metal band Danzig in 2004.

The DVD continues the collection that began with the band's first two VHS releases, Danzig (1989) and Lucifuge: The Video (1991), and chronicles the band's video singles from their third album (1992) and their first EP Thrall-Demonsweatlive (1993).

The DVD contains 12 music videos for the US release and the European release includes an extra bonus video. Frontman Glenn Danzig regained the right of ownership over the music videos after winning a lawsuit against Rick Rubin. However, the R-rated version of "How the Gods Kill" differs slightly from that released in 1992 as part of the How the Gods Kill limited edition CD and VHS box set. According to Danzig, the earlier edit and all other music videos officially released previously by Rubin's American Recordings remain the property of the label.
