Thanks for reminding me about this band. Last time I was at Metal Haven they were playing Rebellion - "Miklagard - The History Of The Vikings - Volume II" on the stereo. I had no idea who it was, so I went and asked the guy.

I am not usually that much of a power metal fan, but I thought this sounded pretty cool. The singer sounds like a more aggressive pissed off Bruce Dickinson (to me, at least) and the riffs definately had an older Iced Earth feel to them.

Which disc do you recommend, Volume I or Volume II?

The DVD is great in picture and sound. THere are a few songs where you can change over to a different show with the same song. My only complaint is that the set is filled with longer songs, thus missing out on adding a few more songs to the set. worth every penny. this is one disc you will watch more than once.

First, I'm a dudette. ;) Secondly, I did contemplate going to the June 1st show, but I am moving on June 16th and have to be really careful with what I put on my plate from now until then in addition to what I am already committed to. Otherwise, I would be going for sure! :)
 
Ok, got a couple more items recently, so I am going to take another stab at keeping this thread going.

A couple new DVDs I have gotten this past week:

TROUBLE - VIDEOS
This is a self-released DVD from the band that features 5 video clips, including RIP, At the End of my Daze, Memory's Garden, Misery Shows (Act II), and Psychotic Reaction. I had only seen a couple of those previously, so it was a worthwhile purchase. The band had been selling this on their site for quite some time, but I never picked it up. No extras, just the 5 promotional videos.

IRON MAIDEN - DEATH ON THE ROAD
This is the video counterpart to last year's DEATH ON THE ROAD double live set, from a show on the Dace of Death tour from Germany. I was already very familiar with the entire set from the CD. It is cool to be able to place the visual to it. Maiden played a great set, and do great versions of some of the better tracks from Dance of Death. Only complaint is that the editor went nuts with quick cuts every 5 seconds. There is even a warning message at the beginning for people with epilepsy! I can see why.

There is also a 200 minute "extras" DVD as well, which I have yet to check out. Seems pretty cool though.
 
This past weekend I picked up....

Sonata Arctica - Unia - not bad, not great....way too many slow songs this time around.

Thunderstone - Evolution 4.0 - so far not bad. they never were an original band but they write decent songs.

Adiastasia - Life War - a power metal band from Brazil who sounds like a cross breed of Gamma Ray and Angra. pretty good stuff but a muddy mix ruins the true power of this disc. hopefully they stick around. they could become a really great band.

At the end of last year, this was one of my most anticipated releases for 2007. Based on your review, as well as those of others, I am not so sure. I always thought it was their more upbeat crazy keyboard driven tracks that made them unique. Their slower stuff is good, but a bit cliche, and help earn them their tag of being a Stratovarius clone. I might have to hold off on this one.
