Just finished devouring the DVDs, and wow... I am AMAZED.
These guys are phenomenal... their musicianship is absolutely staggering, and [as a vocalist], my appreciation of Tomi's versatility has shot even further through the roof after watching how effortlessly he delivers pitch-perfect, honest, energetic performances throughout, switching from clean vox to growls so perfectly.
The concerts are filmed really well - not too many fast cuts that make your eyes bleed, but it's also never boring. You really get a sense of the band's energy and chemistry during live shows. And wow, they are TIGHT. If they ever come back to The States [please come back!], I would travel hundreds of miles to see them!
The live performances are also mixed every bit as clearly as a studio recording, which is great, because you get two CDs of all songs from those shows. For me, this is a real treat, because you get to hear songs like "My Kantele," "Alone" and "Black Winter Day" sung by Tomi, who brings such warmth and depth to these older songs that [IMO] was not present on the original albums. The documentary is also fascinating and fun.
Truly, after watching this DVD/CD set, I have fallen even more in love with Amorphis.
A must have for any amorphis fan,the DVD shows why the band have remained as reference for almost 20 years in the music business, the show is pretty dinamic and the sound is great for a DVD. it has a great Elegy medley and of course, the classic Black Winter Day. Dont think to much whit this one im sure you'll not be disspointed.
Simply put, it's crystal-clear metal streaming forth from one of the coolest Finnish bands at their first filmed concert. The performance on the dvd is fantastic and you can listen to the album over and over again. Gets your heart racing and your head banging. If you like Amorphis, pick this one up.
