Dissection - Live Legacy
After all these years, Dissection has finally released a live album. Though it was all recorded at the same show, the songs fade in and out like one of those “greatest hits recorded live” albums. You know which albums I’m talking about… The ones that are recorded in several different venues and compiled on one CD, then released as a “live” album. For me, a live album should be like the classic live releases, Live After Death, Unleashed in the East, Maiden Japan… You get the picture. The album would be a chronicle of one whole show - tune-ups, fuck-ups and between song crowd interaction. Live Legacy sort of fits in both categories. It has the consistency of the classic live album style with the lack of filler stuff (like tune-ups and between song banter) that is associated with the “greatest hits live” style. As for Dissection’s ability as a live band, these guys really have to be seen to be believed. I had the privilege of seeing them live when they played their one and only tour in the US (with Morbid Angel and At the Gates) and I have to admit that saying that they fucking shred is probably an understatement. If it wasn’t for the crowd noise and the song introductions, this could easily pass for a studio album because both the sound and the playing are perfect. Does anybody know when Jon Nodtveidt is getting out of prison? I want a new studio album!!!
