From http://www.bravewords.com/news/200407 :
ICED EARTH's first officially filmed headline show, Live In Ancient Kourion, will hit stores on April 15th in Europe (North America on April 16th). This incredibly powerful package will come to you in various configurations and, a first for Century Media Records, also on Blu-Ray disc. The Limited Edition Deluxe Book features the main show and a plethora of bonus content on DVD and a Blu-Ray disc, as well as the entire concert on a 2CD set (4 discs in total). You can also enjoy the audio version of the full concert in a 3LP gatefold vinyl package or as a 2CD set. A standard DVD and Digital Audio Download will also be available.
A clip for the track 'Dystopia' from the upcoming release can be seen below:
Early on in the World Tour the band decided that they wanted to capture this newfound energy and passion on film. The biggest question was deciding where to film. There were so many great shows and audiences around the world that it was very challenging to decide which city to choose for this special event. When the offer came in to film at the ancient Kourion Theater in Limassol, Cyprus, they were immediately attracted to that idea. The history and culture there, as well as the Cypriot audience, which the band experienced in December 2011, solidified the decision to film the DVD in Cyprus. Filming and recording a 2 1?2 hour show in an amphitheater that is 6000 years old and is not set-up for a rock concert, paired with 40-degree Celsius heat, were just some of the obstacles to overcome. But the finished product makes up for any of the challenges that the band and crew faced on that special night.
