Looking forward to that film. It's been a long time since it was first announced, so I'm glad it's finally out. Did anyone here get to see any of the recent Necrose Evangelicum shows?

I saw him on the second to last date of the tour---the show was great and a lot harsher than the studio recordings of the tracks. He should have been the headliner!

A little envious now, I have to admit. I'd like for him to do a Necrose Evangelicum tour on European soil. The gig at the CMI festival was one of the best I've witnessed - very Great Death sounding - but it seems like the recent one in London was back to the usual thing that we've seen a number of times in recent years (I wasn't there, so I could be wrong).

I was jealous of the London show---Lina Baby Doll was back at it! There are some videos of the US tour (which I am sure you have seen), but the set didn't quite have the same atmosphere as the album itself (though it was easy to tell which track was which).

No surprise they put Sutcliffe No More to close. BDN is great and Lina was a great addition, but following SNM would have been impossible - the energy and intensity levels were so high that one could only go home (or to a pub) after it. Great decision on organisers' part, even though initially I was a bit surprised.

I can't believe I skipped the first act - it wasn't announced but I understand it was Antichildleague with Tamon from Am Not? Kicking myself now. But good news ACL/Am Not gig in December is around the corner.

A lot of the time, I feel that many videos do not do justice to the live sets of some bands---and to an extent I think that is the case with SNM. I would have assumed, in abstraction, that BDN would put on the better show, but now I think that SNM must just be much more intense in person than in the clips I have seen online!

Just listening to No Decency. "...raw rehearsal recordings of Brighter Death Now for the American tour in 2019" I haven't listened to BDN in a while, but this one is hard-hitting and sounds perfect to my ears.

And also raises a question: why haven't the 90s albums been reissued? Innerwar is an exception, but that reissue is from 2011 and already ages ago.

I do believe a reissue campaign is underway, hopefully fruits reveal themselves soon!

I'm awaiting the Soul in Flames DVD to arrive in the next couple days. It took a while to materialize, but now it's on the way.
Has anybody already seen it (in cinema or on DVD)?

I've watched my dvd copy a couple times. It's excellent and well worth the wait.

A friend got the DVD a little while ago and I borrowed it from him. It's an alright documentary and well worth seeing if you're interested in CMI. It concentrates on the label and there's very little about Roger's own music. It goes from the beginnings of the label to the CMI 30th anniversary festival. Lots of talking heads, Roger himself of course, his daughter, many Cold Meat artists and some other people. There are some old live snippets and pictures of the bands as well to evoke the era. I liked the visual choices and editing style. I doubt I'll watch this again (unless shown at some event or something), but I'm happy this was made and there are people putting effort in these things.

Odd detail: Roger spoke Swedish (there are subtitles so no worries) but everyone else English.

Lesson: if you suffer from depression, you might want to get professional help until it gets too serious.
