Just came back from the gig. They played a long set (2 hours + 2 encores + 2 cover songs as another encore), but it could have been better. First of all, on this tour they had some kind of "heavy metal lead vocalist", who if I remember correctly, has been in Yngwie Malmsteen's band etc. Well, he treated every song as it would have been Iron Maiden's Aces High as the last song in front of 50.000 people, and it kinda spoiled the mood of some songs. Also, the set had quite a lot of those 80's heavy-style songs, like blood of kingu, flesh of gods etc. Also, the soprano was a bit incompetent, and didn't quite nail the melodies. Maybe I was too sensitive for missed notes, as I have been listening to a lot of Wagner's operas lately, but all in all, it could have been done better. The setlist had numbers from every album from Lepaca Kliffoth to Lemuria/Sirius combo, including some gems like the draconian trilogy from Vovin. The two encores from Theli, To Mega Therion and Cults of Shadows were the best, and were performed flawlessly. It was a good gig, but nothing spectacular.
