sorry for the mistake,there is no bonus cd to this dvd
collection.it includes two of AE's RotT (Rise of the Tyrant) mtvs
and some interviews with Japanese metal mag people.
as promised,a mini-review (a poor attempt,i know,i still dunno
how to write reviews) :
this gig kicks off with the track "blood on your hands" from
RotT,which is now a typical way for AE to start a gig,sirens
blaring and all.as expected as the audience might feel,nothing's
better than a good 'ol headbangin' session.
the set is based mostly on RotT,with at least 5 songs from the
album.i'd rather switch "the day you died" and "night falls fast"
for other songs from WoS (Wages of Sin) and AoR (Anthems of
Rebellion),instead of trying to please the Jap crowd with
"Jap-movie-inspired songs".the jap crowd was most ecstatic when
nemesis was being played,one of the only moments that we get to see
moshing taking place.
not going to go through the entire set,so moving on to the
musicianship...
as usual,the Amott brothers do not fail to deliver the crowd
some good soloes,with individual soloes in between songs.they
delivered the songs well,but the harmonics were a bit off
sometimes.
Angela is fucking crazy,which is nothing new,with her getting
the crowd to start chants of "hey" and showing off her trademark
headbanging.but sometimes it can be straining to the ears when you
hear her screeching into the microphone.
the bassist (sorry i forgot his name) is rockin' out,but the
bassline isn't creative and you can hardly hear the bass,due to
Century Media making this dvd focus on Angela and the Amott
brothers,nothing new,if you see the recent albums.
of course,i saved Daniel Erlandson for the last,as in my
opinion,he is the best performer for this gig.he never ceases to
get the blast beats right and gets the crowd crazy.a bit of a
biased opinion here,as yours truly is interested more in drums.
overall,the sounds and the quality of the video has been
satisfactory,displayed in HD,so slide this album into your dvd
player and get ready for some pure fucking metal. \m/
