evil invaders, joe Surge of Insanity Live in Antwerp 2018 [DVD+CD] Japan CD

Product Description

This release features a live performance by Evil Invaders, a band leading the 21st-century thrash/speed metal scene, recorded in their home country of Belgium. Their power and technique are impeccable. The home audience is incredibly passionate! This is true thrash metal! Evil Invaders, from Belgium, are one of the leading bands in the new generation of thrash/speed metal. While they technically formed in 2007, making them a 10-year veteran band, they truly began their serious activities around 2013 with the release of their self-titled EP. After signing with major Austrian label Napalm Records, they made their album debut in 2015 with 'Pulses of Pleasure'. They quickly rose to prominence as a standard-bearer of the new generation of thrash. The following year, 2016, saw the release of the EP 'In for the Kill', followed by their second album 'Feed Me Violence' in 2017, solidifying their popularity with aggressive releases. While their debut album was full of thrash metal-style raw power, their second album showcased their versatility, incorporating elements from progressive metal and even doom metal, demonstrating their ability to present 21st-century thrash metal without falling into mere nostalgia. And now, a live video release from Evil Invaders has been announced. For an energetic musical style like thrash metal, live performances are undoubtedly where they truly shine. Evil Invaders are certainly no exception. Titled "Surge of Insanity ~ Live in Antwerp 2018," this release, as the title suggests, features footage of their live performance in their hometown of Belgium. Being in their hometown is a big plus. Naturally, their home ground fans are passionate, and they can prepare a full stage set. The fact that it was recorded at a live music venue they frequented since childhood must have made it an especially poignant experience. The sheer power of their performance and the energy of the audience are tremendous. The intense energy of the venue must have been palpable even through the screen. And that energy was underpinned by solid musical technique. The tightness of the instrumentalists, and the screams of vocalist Joe, who loves John Oliva of Savatage and Midnight of Crimson Glory?all were superb. The early songs, which were pure power, sounded even more powerful. The songs from their second album, with their twists and turns, were reproduced flawlessly. They even performed a cover of Venom's "Witching Hour." Having visited Japan twice before, many people have probably experienced the Evil Invaders' stage. But there's nothing quite like the excitement of a local live performance. It was simply hot. How could you not be fired up by that? This is what a thrash metal live show should be like!
