This CD is the bootleg CDR version of the "live in Bernhausen" official tape (released back in 1998 and limited to 50 copies). The show presented here was recorded in Stuttgart, Germany, certianly around 1995. The sound is quite good and you can clearly recognize all MAYHEMUC TRUTH classics, depsite some weaknesses of the production at certain times. For those of you who don't know the band, how could I introduce you ? Let's say it is a good mix of BATHORY "hammerheart" period and EMPEROR before 1994. The vocals stongly refer to those of Ihsahn's and the powerful guitar riffs are definitely epic, in addition to this the clear vocal parts (with some mistakes...) that sometimes appear will make you think about old BATHORY "viking" records. I don't know how limited is this release but I think it's worth getting one if you like MAYHEMIC TRUTH / MORIGAN and if you don't mind raw live recordings.
