“…And Death Said Live” is the fourth studio album from the Finnish masters of melodic death metal and one of the best releases in their discography, named in reviews as one of the genre’s greatest albums. After a few years of hiatus, the band has returned with material that combines ruthless speed, technical precision, and typical northern melodies. The album is full of razor-sharp riffs, dynamic tempo changes, and excellent guitar parts that build a dark, epic atmosphere.The production is selective and powerful, and the whole album is full of aggressive energy typical for this kind of metal. This material should not be omitted by fans of Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity or Wintersun. To sum up: power, melody, and technique in perfect proportions.
