Andromeda: 'Playing off the Board' live DVD details

The main feature was recorded on October 31, 2006 in Wyspianski Theater in Katowice (Poland) when Swedish prog metallers Andromeda supported Pendragon at a 21st Anniversary of 'The Jewel' concert.
The band in line-up: David Fremberg (vocals), Johan Reinholdz (guitar), Martin Hedin (keyboards), Thomas Lejon (drums) and Fabian Gustavsson (bass) concentrated mostly on their latest 'Chimera' album but the set-list also includes older tracks from 'Extension of the Wish' and 'II=I' albums. The Swedish quintet offers powerful and sublime sound compositions that are both structurally intricate and overflowing with a vast spectrum of emotions.

DVD includes 1½ hour of progressive music at its very best, more than an hour of bonus video footage (featuring, among other materials, bootlegs and documents from the band's tour and gigs across Europe), two interviews and much more.

'Playing off the Board' will be also available in a limited swing case edition, including a CD with songs recorded at the concert.

The band comments: "We are all very excited about 'Playing off the Board' - we have put our hearts and souls into its creation. It's filled to the brim with stuff to dig your teeth into. The concert was professionally filmed in an old theatre in Katowice, Poland last autumn and it looks and sounds awesome. There are loads of cool bonus material, stuff we filmed on tour, pictures, interviews etc. Don't miss this release!"
