"Where death is most alive" DVD by Dark Tranquillity

by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (30.10.2009) The DVD "Live damage" of 2003 is a standard release: the recording of a 2002 gig represents their live material, the bonus footage has been recorded around the same time, so it doesn't offer any surprises. The basic material was filmed in that well-known Krakow tv studio - so the optic impression is similar to recordings of other bands. In contrast to this average release ( which nevertheless definitely has a certain charming appeal), this output is something special. DVD 1 contains a concert, featuring alone ten songs of the last two albums, plus some freshly polished classics you haven't heard for a long time ("FreeCard", "Edenspring" and "Dreamlore degenerate", recorded in Milan). Apart from the intro before the evergreen "Punish my heaven", the focus is set on the recent past. The second DVD is a real treat: it contains archive footage of partially never officially released songs from the early 90s. Essential - especially for veteran fans!
