Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Unique Musical Experience....Try it on DVD as well.......2005-01-24

"Live in Deutschland 2002" by Saviour Machine contains excellent Gothic Apocolyptic Melodramatic Progressive Dark Symphonic Metallic Rock. This live CD presents the best of the first three "Legend" CDs, and in my opinion, improves the sound and the delivery over and above the original versions!! Plus, the track order they've chosen makes for a more coherent and logically organized story (as this is almost like a rock opera) than the way the material was originally presented.

Better yet, get the DVD of this incredible concert, so you can listen to the music in Dolby 5.1 digital surround sound, and see the band with their dynamic stage show which has to be seen as well as heard to be believed. ("Live in Deutschland 2002" is available on both CD and DVD, and as a bonus the DVD also includes the original Saviour Machine DVD "Live in Deutschland 1995.") They pull out all the stops and use choir and chamber orchestra in addition to the rock band. They use strong visual imagery (such as dipping the Palestinian and Israel flags together in a bowl of blood, burning a UN flag which represents "the New World Order", plus Eric Clayton performs two songs using giant and eerie wings, as he represents Satan as a fallen angel.)

Truly the concert DVD is an amazing experience, but is not for everyone, as it is dark, dense and enigmatic at times. My wife leaves the room when I put this DVD on, as she freely admits it scares her with it's gothic creepiness. Plus Clayton wears extremely odd makeup giving him a weird appearance. Sort of like less a negative version of Marilyn Manson, but with a morally redeeming message.

Anyway, the music itself is excellent. This is a long CD. If some of the songs on Disk 1 start to become too repetitive and almost "ritualistic" around tracks 5, 6 and 7 (Gog [Deathmarch], Invasion of Israel, and World War III), don't despair, there's tons more material ahead, including songs of amazing subtlety and beauty (not only harshness and industrial sounds.) Just stay with it. By the way, on the DVD, during the harsh repetition of the tracks I mentioned, Eric Clayton is engaging in some of the "performance art" activities on the stage that hold your attention and creep you out. But it's all designed to make you think. About man's inhumanity to man; about this world's propensity for war, death and destruction; about the end of the world; about the spiritual warfare that is the underlying basis for so much of this world's physical warfare; and yes, about the eternal redemption offered through Christ the son of God. A Christian message indeed, but this is NOT like ANYTHING you could ever imagine that would be considered "Contemporary Christian Music". Watching the DVD as a church "youth group" activity should probably be avoided, unless you're willing to do a lot of explaining and reassuring to nervous parents. Forget it: it's not worth it. Just give it to anyone who already enjoys Therion, Tristania, My Dying Bride, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, and groups of that sort. Highly recommended. I give four stars to the CD version, and five stars to the DVD version of this album.
