The Twilight Black Circle is an interesting live show. There is a TON of smoke, so you can't see much on the stage, and when you can it's in and out of focus. I did gather that the same guys are in multiple bands, but usually one guy takes the lead and directs each act's sound.
Arizmenda was legitimately disturbing. Murdunbad is a very intense performer. He plays half naked and is covered in scars from self-mutilation. He looks absolutely possessed while performing. He often performs in the crowd and gets right into people's faces. So if you're near the front, you can be surrounded in fog and out of nowhere this scarred up dude might be screaming in your face eying you down like he's about to murder you.
There's this one dude in the circle who visually really doesn't fit in (he was wearing some sort of Hawaiian shirt). He plays bass in Arizmenda. However, during the last song, Murdunbad kicked him out. The dude threw the bass to the ground and stormed off stage looking really pissed. Murdunbad picked up the bass and proceeded to try and play the bass and hold the mic at the same time. One of the more bazaar series of events I've seen during a set.
Overall, you definitely want to see them live if you get the chance. Both acts are great, but Arizmenda in particular is what I think a black metal show should be like.
