THIS IS THE REAL SPACE METAL!! Devastatingly brilliant DVD - one of the best I've ever seen...
Arcturus is the Norwegian avant metal band that is considered a "supergroup" of sorts. The band continues to evolve with each album. This DVD was filmed at the Sonic Solstice Festival in Oslo on September 24,2005. It is a highly theatrical performance incorporating dancers, costumes and effects. With extraordinary editing and film techniques the presentation of the performance is dazzling. The primary source of material is taken from their Sideshow Symphonies and Sham Mirrors albums. This is real progressive metal. I hear tremendous similarities to Hawkwind and Grobschnitt but served up with a metal edge. Imagine Solar Music Live and Space Ritual over a bed of blastbeats courtesy of Hellhammer. Spacy Mellotron samples explode with tortured vocals and dual guitar leads. I can't believe how great this is - totally mesmerizing. Highest recommendation. I can't think of any DVD that might beat this one out in 2006.
