Deluxe CD/DVD edition. 2017 live release from the metal band captures the band's largest and most impressive stage production to date on DVD, which also contains a live audio CD of the WACKEN 2016 performance in Germany. This performance marks the pinnacle of a highly successful album campaign in support of War Eternal, the album which propelled Arch Enemy to reach their highest US and German chart positions to date, also going on to play over 200 shows in over 40 countries around the world. This monumental event was captured on film with 13 cameras, directed and produced by none other than famed metal video director/auteur Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Within Temptation and many more) and is being presented in top notch stereo and 5.1 Dolby Surround, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Kreator, Medadeth etc.). This impressive live production will be something that fans have never seen before!

Eh. Take it or leave it.
Watched it once, and I have no desire to watch it again. Alissa just doesn't have the same presence that Angela did. Nothing is to be taken away from the musicians though; the performances are top notch, the sound is clear, the solos are as clear and vibrant as ever....but I feel like I've seen this done before, but better. The main Wacken concert is 72 minutes long, and then in the extras there are eight full song performances selected from the Tokyo Sacrifice DVD; these add up to 33 minutes. The seven-minute behind the scenes is an absolute waste of time. So for the package, you get the live CD of the whole Wacken show plus a 105-minute live DVD. For the price, it ain't bad. Just depends how much you love Arch Enemy and how you've warmed up to Angela not being in the band anymore. I got nothing against Alissa vocally, but AE, I felt, has been stale in their product for the past two albums....I hate for that bias to come through in this review of a live performance, but it does affect the rating also.

Absolutely superb!
I watched the main portion of the DVD this evening and have not yet seen the other parts, but wanted to write this before I forget...This show is impeccable! Alissa is an outstanding singer and front-woman, and Jeff fits perfectly into this band. The staging, lights, pyro, mixing and editing are all excellent, and the performances are both technically precise and aesthetically stunning. This is an amazing bargain! Thank you to all who made this possible.

Sounds great. Can’t see Loomis solo
If you like Satan music it’s great! Well produced and the music is top notch. My only complaint is that on the DVD they don’t show Jeff Loomis playing his solos which is why I bought the damn thing! You can see every note of Armott though. :) I wish Iron Maiden’s newer CDs sounded like this one.
