The Swedish band is back with an excellent live DVD recorded in Warsaw, Poland.
After having released in 2007 the studio album Gothic Kabbalah, here comes one year later a superb live DVD recorded in Warsaw that will serve as a testimony of the end of an era in the band, because it was recently announced in their official website that the main members of the band were departing in different musical ways, staying the founder Christofer Johnson as the core to build up a new formation in the future.
What you can find here is more than 2 hours of an excellent show that goes through the extensive career of the band. Lori Lewis and Katarina Lilja put a note of glamour with the female voices and the band sounds consistent and having fun in front of quite a warm Polish audience. The stage is not very big, but on the other hand the close contact with the public is clearly perceived. As highlights we can comment the exotic drum solo with two other members of the band joining Petter Karlsson, and of course the final climax of the marvelous symphony To Mega Therion.
If you like symphonic metal, you can simply not miss this one in your collection. Apart from the DVD the concert has also been edited in a double CD version.
Rating 4/5.
