Where Death Is Most Alive

Excellent live album by Dark Tranquillity. I highly recommend you check this album out if you are a fan of Dark Tranquillity. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing release!! All I could possibly ask for in a live release. Great entertainment.

Well, 2009 sure has been a great year for Dark Tranquillity. Earlier in the year we saw the releases of a greatest hits collection in "Manifesto of Dark Tranquillity" and a collection of demos and gems in "Yesterworlds". Now joining the party is "Where Death is Most Alive" - a 2 CD live concert and a 2 DVD concert video/documentary/music video compilation. The CDs and DVDs are sold separatly and since this review is just under the CD portion, I will keep my review strictly to the music on the CDs. The CD tracks were all recorded at a single concert on Halloween night, 2008 in Milan, Italy. The band offers up a career spanning 20 song setlist that takes us through the 7 albums that represent their career from 1993-present. This CD was recorded while DT was touring to support the "Fiction" album, so this album is heavily represented during the concert (about 1/3 of the songs). A break down of the tracks by their album is given below: The Gallery (1995) - 3 tracks (Edenspring, Lethe, and Punish My Heaven*) The Mind's I (1997) - 2 tracks (Insanity's Crescendo and Dreamlore Degenerate) Projector (1998) - 2 tracks (FreeCard and ThereIn) Haven (2000) - 1 track (The Wonders At Your Feet) Damage Done (2002) - 2 tracks (The Treason Wall and Final Resistance) Character (2005) - 3 tracks (The New Build, Lost to Apathy, and My Negation) Fiction (2007) - 7 tracks (Focus Shift, The Lesser Faith, Inside the Particle Storm, Nothing to No One, Misery's Crown, The Mundane and the Magic, Terminus (Where Death is Most Alive)) *This song contains an intro from the song "Yesterworld" On two tracks ("Insanity's Crescendo" and "The Mundane and the Magic") we are treated to performances by guest vocalist Nell Sigland from Theater of Tragedy. She does a phenomenal job and really makes these songs sound beautiful. The sound quality of these recordings is great and the band plays everything superbly. The crowd is fantastic and is into every song from beginning to end. The crowd actually chants out the melody on several songs and this adds a very cool effect on these tracks. In my opinion, the band and the crowd really get going a few songs into the setlist and for that reason I prefer the intensity on CD2. With that said, everything here is very soild and well worth the purchase price. It is a treat to hear early classics like Lethe and Punish My Heaven as well as amazing new songs like Inside the Particle Storm and Misery's Crown played live. There is something on here for everyone and I commend the band on choosing a complete set of songs (even 1 song from Haven!). I would recommend this CD set for any fans of melodic death metal. This has been a great year to be a Dark Tranquillity fan and this is a perfect finishing touch to cap off 2009. The band's new album is expected out in early 2010, so take this time to listen through this CD set and appreciate where DT has been and where they are going. They helped to pioneer this genre and they are still going strong after all these years!

This Band is the most underated band in the history of metal. No one gives them credit for being the driving force behind the mammoth that was Melodic Death.This live disc proves that they have always been the band to break new boudaries while still remain true to their roots. Their live performances of Terminus and Insanity's Crescendo were enough to bring this hate fill world down in a fiery hell and rock. They are masters of their craft and second to none. No Joke!!!!! Who gives a rats ass about Five Finger Death Punch or Disturbed anyway. They suck ass DARK TRANQUILLITY!!!!!!! CAN'T STAND THIS GLACIAL PLACE ALL THE DAMAGE DONE!!!!!IT SEEMS THESE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORTER DERAILS MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/

Excelente edicion 2012 de Floga Records (Grecia) por primera vez en tres viniles color negro y tiraje limitado a 350 copias, del concierto en vivio en Milan en 2008, triple gatefold de acabado barniz brillante y tres fundas impresas a color con las letras de los tracks (raro en los albumes en vivo). La banda marca un capitulo de su carrera de manera magistral con este album qur acaba por unificar su estilo siempre en constante busqueda de identidad, recomendado si eres fan de siempre o si deseas conocer los temas mas emblematicos de esta banda de Gutemburg. Entrega perfecto en tiempo y forma.

Goed live album

Live stupendo dei dark Tranquillity finalmente anche in vinile, che oltre ad essere da collezione per gli appassionati, è masterizzato in maniera perfetta. 3 vinili con le rispettive buste con stampate sopra i testi delle canzoni, bella copertina ed imballato perfettamente. Nota molto importante, arrivato con un estremo anticipo rispetto al previsto, 3 giorni prima. Acquisto da 5 stelle.

After seeing them live in Rotterdam I needed to have this CD, its fantastic!!! Soundquality superb! Tracklist super! I highly recommend this CD, even if like me, you didn't own a DT CD yet!

Si tratta del concerto che i Dark Tranquillity hanno tenuto a Milano il 31 ottobre 2008. E' un doppio cd formato da 21 pezzi con una tracklist davvero notevole e che spazia sui brani più noti e sugli album a mio avviso più belli. La riproposizione del concerto ha una buona resa sonora e l'impatto è davvero più che soddisfacente. E' presente anche la versione AutoRip e il tutto è ad un prezzo davvero interessante.
