"What can I say....this is an amazing CD+DVD combo. You get a DVD of there full 1st concert from Wacken Open Air, Germany recorded Aug 5, 2005. I haven't listen to the CD yet but, it will be the same as the concert just the audio obviously. I really enjoyed the DVD...I only had a few things that made me kinda eh....the video is kinda dark-ish? But that's nothing big. And also there is only 3 songs from Resurrection Through Carnage while they have 6 from Nightmares Made Flesh and they have the 3 songs from the Breeding Death EP. I just kinda wish they added a few more songs from RTC but that is just me. I would highly recommend to get this if your a fan of bloodbath. I have one of the 1st pressing which only made 10,000 of and it comes in this digipack and looks amazing. The booklet also comes with all the lyrics to the songs they play. Another thing that kinda made me eh is that they had some easter eggs on the dvd or even some behind the scenes or something...that would of been pretty cool...or just something extra besides just the concert. But all in all this is a good album and DVD. So buy this now you wont regret it!"
Near perfection

"Though indisputably great, this album still has one weakness - the tracklist. Though solid, "Nightmares made flesh" is just not as good as "Resurrection through carnage", and the playlist should have reflected that - including "Cancer of the soul" or "Eaten" instead of classic death tracks like "Death delerium" or "Trail of insects" weakens what could have been the best death metal album ever. Yeah, it is that good.
Having said that, everything else about this disc is just about perfect. Mikael Åkerfeldt is in top form, displaying both an inhuman roar and a bone-dry sense of humour, Dan Swanö's guitar playing underscores the wisdom of moving him off the drum stool and his replacement skin-pounder, new Opeth man Martin Axenrot, puts on a clinic. Coupled with a gorgeous production job and suitably gruesome cover art, this is an album no serious death metal fan can do without."
