A VHS document of Sigillum S's live performance practice, capturing the trio (Eraldo Bernocchi, Paolo Bandera, and Luca Di Giorgio) in concert during the period when Minus Habens was functioning as the de-facto Italian industrial video imprint (alongside the Dive / Sigillum S / KOMA collaborative Grinding Walls VHS of 1995 on Discordia).

The title refers directly to Clive Barker's 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart and the Hellraiser film-franchise "Order of the Gash" that followed. This is characteristic Sigillum S visual territory: the trio consistently drew on the intersection of body-horror imagery, BDSM fetish iconography, and ritual-magical symbolism that made the first-wave Italian industrial scene aesthetically distinct from the more explicitly political German and British currents.

The "Hyperlive" designation indicates a degree of studio post-treatment of the concert footage: multiple camera angles, processed visuals, and an enhanced audio mix that makes the VHS something different from a simple concert document. This anticipates the more sustained multimedia-performance work Bandera would undertake with IT / Clock DVA's Virtual Reality Handbook project (Minus Habens, 1992, already reviewed in this collection). A scarce visual document of one of Italian industrial's most important performance units.
