So this is the infamous 2004 show recorded at the place of choice for many metal DVD recordings, Krakow, Poland. As one of those who weren't there, I have the past four years had great expectations towards this show. Surprisingly nothing as shocking as promised, given the fuss that was made about Gorgoroth's stage art that night.
The ado concerning the band's imagery couldn't anyway possibly cast a shadow upon the intensity of this show. It retraced in one hour Gorgoroth's history from Antichrist (second record, 1996) to Twilight of the Idols (last in date in 2004) magnificently, with Under the Sign of Hell (1997) as a core (5 of 13 songs), showing the band's unity and faithfullness to their expression. The sound is excellent too, the several camera perspectives and graphical effects great.
The looped background sound sequence in the main menu intro deserves its own paragraph. Must have let it go over two hours some times. The world, annihilated, lies grey covered with fog (remember Destroyer?). A cold, metallic, gathering war siren afar haunts and drags the few survivors to a black mass...
