Artist: ELDRITCH
Album: LIVEQUAKE LTD. EDIT. (DVD+2CD)

Release date: 2008
Media type: CD

In 2008, the seventeenth year of their reign, the exceptional Italian metallers, ELDRITCH are issuing a live album which will represent the entire period of creativity of the band. There is absolutely no doubt that ELDRITCH are Italy's most famous Melodic Power/Techno Thrash Band, who also enjoy a tremendous reputation beyond their country's borders. "Livequake" was recorded live during one show and now firmly bolsters the exceptional status, which the band enjoys within the scene. With Disk Two containing a very successful cross-section of ELDRITCH's song material of their first three albums, it is apparent that the band is very tight and knows how to present perfectly balanced versions of their earlier, complex material. The huge step backwards to the bands's early musical period is rounded off by the fact that the superb keyboarder, Oleg Smirnoff was part of the set. Many of the songs are played in a re-worked form without having changed the basic elements. For it is just those songs from their pioneering years, works such as "Lord Of An Empty Place", "Heretic Beholder", "Ghoulish Gift" and "Bleed Mask Bleed", which helped the band achieve such enormous popularity. "Livequake" is an impressive statement from a band who refuses to tow to any musical trends, being instead the trendsetters themselves. This wonderful live statement is available as a generous double CD including a DVD! Full service for ELDRITCH Fans, indeed.
