ELDRITCH: DVD Shoot 'Went Great'

April 7, 2008

Italian progressive-aggressive metal band ELDRITCH filmed its first DVD on March 22 at Music Street Club in Lugnano, Pisa, Italy. The two-hour show was split into two equal parts: the first portion featuring songs from 2001's "Reverse" album and subsequent releases; and the second half containing material from the first three LPs, with all the keyboard parts played by former ELDRITCH keyboardist Oleg Smirnoff.

Commented the band: "The live show in Pisa went great!!! Now it's time for audio mixing, and later on, the DVD editing. The concert will be released as a double live CD plus a bonus DVD! You'll know more in the next months. In any case, it'll be released around October/November. It will contain songs from all seven albums. The guys also played a gig in Rome on [April] 4th and it went great too!! There was Fabio Montorzi on rhythm guitars because Pek (Rob Proietti) will be in USA until September. Now the guys will start writing new material for a new album... So stay tuned and rock on!"

ELDRITCH released its seventh album, "Blackenday", in April 2007 via Inside Out Music. The CD features guest appearances by Ray Alder (FATES WARNING, REDEMPTION, ENGINE) and Nicholas Van Dyk (REDEMPTION) on the song "Broken Road". On all the other tracks you can hear Laura Scappini (IN MEMORY) doing the backup vocals. The CD was mixed by R.D. Liapakis at Music Factory studios in Germany and was mastered by Christian Schmid. A video for the song "The Blackened Day" was shot in February 2007 with director Mirco Andreis and can be viewed below.

ELDRITCH made its U.S. live debut at the Chicago Powerfest 2006.
