No movie for today's piece, and really, no sports to speak of until the NHL playoffs begin. So what do I fill this space with today? How about some metal music? I haven't really touched on this subject since the debate about going to Maryland Deathfest, which by the way, I'm not going to, as I am saving for Iron Maiden in Albuquerque, which will follow Finntroll/Moonsorrow in a couple of weeks. Since much of the metal music pieces are on Metal Psalter, that usually doesn't leave me much to talk about on here. However, today is a little different. You see, I had been getting the itch to review a music DVD and what better way to start than with a Paradise Lost DVD.
In 2008, the band released a live DVD called The Anatomy of Melancholy, which coincided with the band's twenty year anniversary as a band. The live show was filmed at Koko in London and the set list spans much of the band's lengthy discography. Obviously, the band knows that the set is being filmed and plays that fact up with the audience, which makes for a fairly enjoyable set. Highlights on the live set include "The Enemy," "Sweetness," "The Last Time," and the classic "Gothic." Also included on the two disc set is a documentary and music videos for "The Enemy" and "Praise Lamented Shade." Highly recommended for fans of Paradise Lost.
