Watain did a spooktacular job capturing their live show on this DVD. If you've never seen them, then this is as close as you can get without actually smelling like cow's blood. The production value and editing is freakin excellent.
The show is full of bombastic energy and explosions. The setlist is killer. It sounds amazing. It's everything a Watain show IS. Truly an unholy experience.
However, interspersed throughout the live show are some little vignettes of E talking about how evil and solitary they are. They're channeling Satan's work etc. He pretends to take himself so seriously that it's all quite silly. There is no God, and there is no theistic Satan, I'm afraid, E. Magick, spells, incantations, etc, are all a load of bollocks. But I don't care. As long as Watain keep churning out amazing album after amazing album, coupled with the greatest live show on Earth, and the best marketing/merch in the metal world...then I don't care if they worship the Smurfs. Something's working out for them cuz they're the greatest Black Metal band in many, many, years. Even if they do take themselves a bit too seriously.
Hail Watain!
