The lighting is great, and they play most off the sings to perfection.ĭisc three has one good show: The Wacken open air. They play almost all-newer material, and this is pretty cool. They play in front of a large crowd, and feed off them for the whole show. The Breeze is another high-quality performance. The sound mix is quite different from the Cologne show, and again, you'll have to listen for yourself to decide if you like it. I don't like it as much as the Cologne show, but it is still a solid performance. Blade shows the band at in a more raw light. A definite plus for the DVD.ĭisc two is two concerts: The Summer Blade and the Breeze festival. It is quite entertaining, and lets you see into Amon Amarth off stage.
The video is on par with a High-Quality production, and is done beautifully.Īlso on disc one is the documentary The Vikings are Coming, which gives you a look at the band preparing for the Cologne show. The thing that surprised me the most was the great quality of both the music and the taping. Then it sounds just like you were seeing the band live and in person. The mix also sounds great, and if you have a good sound system, crank it up. They actually do a good job of getting each member camera time. There are tons of camera angles used during the show, focusing on the band mostly, and they don't focus on one member. The battle helps the show quite a bit, and fits with the concert. While this may seem cheesy to you, watch it. At one point an army of Norseman enters the stage and have a destructive battle.
The lighting is brilliant, as well, complementing the music and the overall mood of each song. Lots of pyro, which fits the band perfectly, especially in " Releasing Surtr's Fire", where pyro is used prominently.
They play a total of twenty-three songs all together, and not one of them is poorly played. The concert in Cologne is incredible, with nearly two hours of amazing music. Wrath of the Norseman features over seven hours of footage, and most of it is concert material. This is Amon Amarth's first DVD, and it is the best metal DVD I have seen.
