\"Bloodbound\"Swedish Heavy\/Power Metal band Bloodbound released their first-ever live offering this year. It\u2019s called One Night of Blood \u2013 Live at Masters of Rock MMXV<\/em>, and in keeping with the AFM label\u2019s other live releases this is no ordinary live release. In addition to the live album, One Night of Blood<\/em> also features the full performance plus a handful of video clips on a DVD.<\/p>\n

Czechoslovakia\u2019s Masters of Rock festival is an ideal setting for a live release. Bloodbound had a closing set in front of close to 20,000 enthusiastic metalheads, and they turned in a very strong performance. The band has six studio albums under their belts at this point, but (wisely) they stuck mostly to material from the albums since vocalist Patrik Johansson joined the band. 2014\u2019s Stormborn<\/em> received the most attention, with roughly half of their set devoted to it. That\u2019s a very strong release with anthems perfect for this setting, so that was another good call on Bloodbound\u2019s part.<\/p>\n

Bloodbound put on a fun, high-energy performance, and worked the stage and the crowd well. The crowd seemed pumped up too, giving the band a lot of love and joining in on the more anthemic tracks like \u201cMoria,\u201d \u201cNightmares From the Grave\u201d and \u201cMetalheads Unite.\u201d The sound quality on this set is quite good, having been mastered by the great Jens Bogren. The video quality is not as good, unfortunately. On wide shots and mostly still scenes it\u2019s fine, but there\u2019s a blurring whenever there\u2019s any sharp motion that makes the DVD hard to watch at times. If you like to pop in a live DVD for background music while you\u2019re doing other things, that probably won\u2019t be a problem. If you want to actively watch this though, it gets distracting pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a die-hard Bloodbound fan, One Night of Blood<\/em> is a must-have release. It\u2019s also a nice addition for fans of their more recent albums. The issues with the video knock down the overall rating a bit, but the audio portion is great and it\u2019s still a solid release overall.<\/p>\n
