A promo sample of the DVD taken from the RIGOR MORTIS short tour with ARSON ANTHEM back in December 2007 can be viewed below. Philip Anselmo (PANTERA, DOWN, ARSON ANTHEM) joined RIGOR MORTIS on stage at all three shows to sing "Cattle Mutilations". At the final show in New Orleans, Bruce Corbitt motioned for Phil to come out to sing the final verse of "Demons". This wasn't planned, this wasn't rehearsed and this wasn't even talked about. This was just simply metal!
