Live in Nurnberg

A friend of mine notified my about this release first. I made a purchase based on the band's previous releases including Echoes in Eternity where you can hear some live footage of the band, and I didn't regret it.

This was recorded on one of the band's live appearances (after this tour they stopped playing live), recorded with only one camera. The video has a sepia effect applied for the whole length. The performance is uncut. The band plays well but there are 1-2 minute breaks between some songs, this might be a drawback for some.

The sound is similar to the live tracks on Echoes in Eterinty, the mix is a bit better here.

Armagedda brings a varied setlist between their suicidal and intense songs. The former category is played with enough passion to make an effect. From this category, A World Full of Lies is the highlight. One thing that irritates me to a small extent is Graav changing the lyrics at some parts (maybe the songs weren't finished that time but still). The other songs are also played well, making good headbanging moments. The crowd is tame until Satan My Master starts.

Who do I recommend this? For fans of Armagedda this is mandatory, people who like raw (and sometimes suicidal) black metal this may be a good experience. For others: at your own risk.
