"Mericless(...)if you are a fan of ol'skool Death Thrash, BUY THIS DVD! Merciless, formed during the summer of 1986, are one of the first underground Death/Thrash Metal bands in Sweden, inspired by the early works of godz: Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Bathory! although the band took a break in 1994 due to a bad contract with a horrible record label, they have risen from the ashes of a once thriving scene, to unleash this killer live set from 2003! the sound quality is mint and captures the brutal heavy grinding that only Merciless can wield! you wont find any Gothenburg junk here! you also get a second DVD of some promotional videos and various antics. all in all a killer collection... *BUT* ...the company that released this DVD dropped the ball! the content on both DVDs could have fit onto ONE SINGLE-LAYER DVD! the total size of both discs = 4.3GB, which would fit on 1 DVD very easily. but they waste the DVD format and put out this 2 DVD set, which also jacks up the price. not a very good idea. this is the ONLY REASON that i gave this DVD a rating of stars. MERCILESS THRASH!"
