Harsh vocals and bass are amazing as usual. Clean vocals should be improved urgently, is totally different from album releases. Drums and guitars, despite the bad mixing, are okay. The quallty overall is regular to bad, thanks to the terrible mixing. It seems that the audio was recorded with a cheap phone.
Just how bad they are live? I still have to watch a video where they don't terribly screw basically every song. Just saw Amon Amarth on RU-vid, same fest, and they ruled. And mind that I'd take almost any Insomnium's release over Amon's.
Some people are still complaining about how this band's youtube live fest performance are bad like some poor little childs... Get a life please, go out and grow up.
I see a lot of comments saying that they are terrible live, are a studio band, should practice more or stop drinking/taking drugs before their shows. I see also a lot of pointless recommandations about the singing or the guitar playing. I saw them two weeks ago and they sounded killer, it was literally one of the best show I've ever seen. The difference was that in that venue, the sound was really great. There is a thousand reason why a live record could sound not so great, and it's unfortunate that so many people blame the band for it. In this case I think that the vocals are too loud and lack of some reverb especially for the clean parts. And again no one knows if the mixing guy didn't give a shit or if he tried his best with the time and the material he had. I just prefer not to assume the worst of people when I don't know something.
I saw them 4 years before and they are absolute killers in live. The sound depends of the mix and the festival. They have errors in live, yeah, who not? Did you listen to Amon Amarth lives? All bands have errors in live, that's a normal thing and this is a live band. If anyone dont like it, they can just stay at home and listen to the albums without errors and perfect sound. Great comment :)
The live mix is made to sound good in real life, if you just record straight from the mixing table like here it is likely it will not sound good. The levels are not accomodated for recording
Sound amazing on record and I fucking love them. But they sound awful live, how many times did the drummer hit the rim instead of the snare? Answer is too many.
You'd be surprised at the amount of times this happens. Probably it was fine for the attendees, but whenever it's streamed directly from the soundboard (to be posted online, for an example) shit goes bad fast.
Saw them on their winters gate tour last yr and they were really fuckin good, way better than most of the live videos you can find online, truly exceeded expectations
They’ve got some good melodies and are overall a decent metal band but damn I feel like they’re one of those live bands where you get sooooo bored after 2 songs. Same can be said for a lot of metal bands though 🤷♂️
