Swedish progressive metal band ANDROMEDA will release its live DVD, "Playing off the Board", in Europe on April 10 and in North America on April 24 via Metal Mind Productions. The disc was filmed on October 31, 2006 at the Wyspianski Theater in Katowice, Poland. ANDROMEDA's setlist concentrated on the band's "Chimera" album but also included tracks from older efforts — "Extension of the Wish" and "II=I". The DVD includes 90 minutes of "progressive music at its very best," plus more than an hour of bonus video footage (featuring bootlegs and clips from the band's tour and gigs across Europe), two interviews and much more. "Playing off the Board" will be also available in a limited swing case edition, including a CD with songs recorded at the concert.

Commented the band: "We are all very excited about this release, [as] we have put our hearts and souls into its creation. It's full to the brim with stuff to dig your teeth into. The concert was professionally filmed in an old theatre in Poland this fall and it looks and sounds awesome. There are loads cool of bonus material, stuff we filmed on tour, pictures, interviews etc. Don't miss it!"

ANDROMEDA recently finished recording the drums for its fourth, as-yet-untitled album. "Yet again at a record breaking pace, Thomas Lejon nailed the nine new tracks in just a couple of days," the group wrote on its web site in January. "As on the previous two albums, keyboard player Martin Hedin is recording and producing."

ANDROMEDA filmed a video for the song "In the End" last year. The track comes off the band's latest CD, "Chimera", which was released in June 2006 via Massacre Records.

"Chimera" was produced by Martin Hedin in Sweden between March 2004 and January 2005 and features artwork by Niklas Sundin (DARK TRANQUILLITY).

En voila quelque chose d'interessant!!

Nettement ! Je suis très curieux d'écouter ce que peut rendre un tel groupe sur scène.

Ben tiens, un extrait :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1vXmmvdPS4

Y'a un bon son, une bonne image apparement, c'est super bien iterprété.Meme si la voix est un peu surmixé, ca le fait!

Les bémols sont que ca a l'air un peu mou du cul(gratteu concentré sur son manche, pas énormement d'ambiance, enregistré dans un théatre...pas super..)...

A aussi, je suis un peu déçu par le style des musicos...le gratteu torse nu pour jouer du prog ca le fais pas trop(imaginez Petrucci Torse nu..) et le chanteur en marcel...bon...passé tout ca je preferre acheter le cd que le dvd aparement! ^^

Merci Noise pour la video

Le son est carrément mauvais, oui, j'éspère pour eux que c'est pas la version finale, parce que bon, le chanteur dix fois trop fort, ca le fait vraiment pas.
Sinon j'ai l'impression que les mecs se croient en repet, va falloir qu'ils revoient leur jeu de scène.

Ben le son pourrai etre mieu si il avait était mieu mixé!Malgres tout on entend tout les instru meme si la voix resort trop(heuresement qu'il chante bien).

Quand a la prestation scénique c'est vrai que c'est a revoir et comme le dit Seosamh, on se croirai en répete!

Une image de la chose :



Reste plus qu'à prier pour que le son soit bon.

oui prions pour le son, l'image me déçoit...en fait je veu voir un peu ce que ca donne au début du concert.Un live sans ambiance perso je trouve ca un peu inutile et ca a l'air le cas ici.
