Isildurs Bane - First DVD Of The Band

Interesting news from the website of the Swedish progressive act:

"After releasing four highly acclaimed CD's within their MIND concept, Sweden's longest serving progressive rock band deliver their first DVD, MIND Vol. 5: The Observatory.
Filled to the brims with a concert, documentary footage, animations and four new, previously unreleased songs, this DVD is a must for all discerning music fans.
The concert was filmed in September 2004 with twelve cameras. It presents Isildurs Bane in front of an enthusiastic crowd with perhaps the bands strongest and most versatile line-up so far, featuring a twin-guitar team, cello, and three vocalists in addition to the regular team.
The documentary footage features unique clips from the band's past and present. From the late 80's until January 2005, from Sweden via Europe to North America, from Adolf Wölfli's cell at the mental hospital in Waldau to NEARfest, from a hot and sweaty stage in Budapest to a chilly beach in Halmstad. It's all here.
MIND Vol. 5: The Observatory includes four brand new songs recorded exclusively for this DVD, expertly produced by Mats "MP" Persson.
Isildurs Bane's first DVD includes many songs from the lauded MIND Vol. 4: Pass and the frantic pièce-de-resistance "The Voyage" from the album of the same name.
MIND Vol. 5: The Observatory was produced by Fredrik Timour for Ataraxia Productions".

"Mortiis says "We´re working on the live DVD right now, it was shot last year, it was mixed when we did the single, and we´re currently looking at what sort of bonus material we´ll get to put in there, which is a bit down to the label really, but i´m hoping to get a lot of cool stuff in there, like older videos and so on"."
