I'm pretty sure this was the first show they played after concerts started coming back. If not, it was very shortly after. Abyss was released during the shut downs and the only other time they had played it "live" before this was for a virtual concert as part of the album release. I'm really hoping we get some good quality live concert videos from them this year, especially at Wacken.
The vocalist for the band Lords of the Trident also helps run the Mad with Power festival and he has a much better quality recording of The Wind That Shapes The Land & Afterlife from the '23 fest.
I've seen them live at a small indoor venue and everything sounded exactly like the record. Sometimes she'd cut a couple seconds off of a sustained note but otherwise it was a near-match and always epic and they were having so much fun on stage together
2:50 ya sadly whoever captured the audio was not an engineer lol Jinjer's set from this same festival has brutal audio on their videos as well. It almost sounds like instead of plugging into the mixer and adjusting the levels, the person plugged a karaoke mic into the camera and hung it on the rafters 15 feet above the band 😂 I can't wait till the band gets a live show professionally recorded. Fan cams do no justice...
