"Dead Again"
Label: SPV/Steamhammer
I never understood the aim of a re-issue, especially so soon after the release of the album. So, no less than a year after the release of “Dead Again”, it is being re-issued with a different artwork (different background colour, from green to red), with the addition of a bonus dvd, which is what I will be reviewing here, because it is the only reason why someone should invest his money on.
The bonus DVD contains material from their last appearance in Wacken open air in 2007, two video clips and an interview. Let’s take things from the top. 30 minutes of live footage from their last year's appearance, in which they played “Anesthesia”, “Christian Woman”, “Love You To Death” and “Kill You Tonight”, showing us how the band performs live at this point of their career. In addition, this dvd contains video-clips of the songs “The Profits Of Doom” and “September Sun”, from “Dead Again” album, and last but not least, a 15 minute interview.
Very good as far as bonus material, however I think not good enough, in order to make even the most loyal fans of the band buy it. Wouldn’t it be better if it contained some bonus tracks as well? Or maybe the re-issue of a previous album would be more interesting.
Collectors invest, to the rest of you I suggest you completely ignore this release. |
