Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Vocalist Alan "Nemtheanga" Averill of Irish dark metal masters PRIMORDIAL has posted a lengthy update on the band's official web site. A few excerpts from his message follow below.

On PRIMORDIAL's forthcoming concert DVD, which was filmed on January 24, 2009 at the Button Factory in Dublin, Ireland:

"The DVD is very near completion. The final audio mix has arrived from Chris [Fielding; NAPALM DEATH, ELECTRIC WIZARD] at Foel [studios in Wales] and it sounds immense.

"The interviews and bonus discs are all more or less finalised.

"It's taken a little longer then we imagined but as many of you know time moves slower in PRIMORDIAL country."

On the upcoming re-release of PRIMORDIAL's 2000 album "Spirit The Earth Aflame":

"The next re-release is 'Spirit The Earth Aflame' so we are going to start working on the artwork for that very soon. The reaction to the first two re-releases has been positive.

"Like I say in the liner notes, we don't ask you to buy them again if you do have them, but they have to be out there for someone to find first time around and if only for our own piece of mind."

Irish pagan masters PRIMORDIAL will release their first ever DVD All Empires Fall on February 28th / March 1st 2010 via Metal Blade in Europe! It will be a DVD-set containing two discs full of quality material!

Disc 1 is the centre piece of the DVD and features a full Primordial headline show recorded live on the 24th of January, 2009 in their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. The show was filmed with five cameras and has an exceptional vintage look due to the hard work in post production. A truly impressive and powerful live gig, exciting from start to finish in front of die hard Primordial audience and a perfect sound track that is available in stereo and 5.1.

Disc 2 features live clips from the bands appearances at Ragnarok Festival (Germany), Hove Festival (Norway) and Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) in 2008. The second disc also features a band documentary with all the inside stories and loads of ancient footage from the early stages of the band. The documentary has a playing time of approx. 60 minutes. Interviews with all band members and rehearsal footage complete the second disc of the set.

The special Deluxe version of All Empires Fall features expanded packaging and two additional audio CDs featuring the Dublin show.

Here's what singer A.A. Nemtheanga has to say about All Empires Fall: "The gods have been working hard dogging the release of our first dvd 'All Empires Fall' but finally we are ready to prevail. The DVD will contain our Dublin show from last year, a documentary and bonus material from recent festivals. The special edition will contain the audio discs of the Dublin show, so you can hear how some old classics are played now, some almost two decades after writing. So how does it look? The simple answer is and without exaggeration possibly one of the best Metal live shows I've ever seen. We filmed it on analog reels, cut it with frightening pace and mixed it up with some very unconventional camera angles. It has the feel of a classic show from the late 70s not the clean, clinical digital vacuum most modern shows are filmed in. We also invested a lot of time, money and effort so don't expect one of those free recordings most festivals and soundstages offer. As normal we didn't do anything conventionally so there are no boring balcony stills or side of stage montages. No overdubs, auto tuning or drop ins we are proud that 'All Empires Fall' shows us as we are and as a Primordial show always is. Blood and thunder and no quarter given from start to finish…”
