CARPATHIAN FOREST / WE’RE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD FOR THIS

With bands these days releasing DVD’s almost as often as the release albums it getting quite expensive and confusing as to knowing what’s worth it and what’s not a lot of these DVD’s come with 2, 3, or even four discs and when you get them home you find that these are in no way full, but have baked, badly shot shows, and they have missed off the promo video you wanted, and edited the show you wanted to watch. Therefore when I got hold of this DVD I wanted to tell the world or at least the (world wide) web how well it is put together and how FULL it is of goodies.

Firstly you get a professionally shot concert with dancing girls (you’ve got to see Carpathian Forest’s version of dancing girls!) 19 tracks including a fantastically brutal "Sadomasochistic" and "Skjend Hans Lik" studio report, rare live bootlegs 6 tracks, a professionally shot Waken Festival, video promo, Then a Whole host of rare audio demos and impossible to find tracks all here for your money. I am a BIG Carpathian Forest fan and I honestly could not ask for more.
