“Classic Live Tunes ” is the material coming from Paradox of Destitution Tour. The digipack contains two CD full of considerable dose of concert Progressive Power Metal in powerful symphonic binding, and this by Sudhessen Symphonic Orchestra with conductor Manfred Kilthau.

Obviously the music of the band does not distinguish innovation of the music, this is melodious and dynamic Power Metal with strong progressive traces where similarities to WHITESNAKE or QUEENSRYCHE are feels. But the concert atmosphere connected with the parties of symphonic orchestra make the whole is very spatial with the charm, the imaginativeness and deep as well as has more sensuality. Additionally intertissued the choral parties and the narrations inflict impression of the concept album. The music emotions oscillate from melancholy to pathos, although the aggressive bursts of passion seldom appear, and this is rather controlled aggression.

The music is very mature, sedate generally, where the place are for sharper motives and for ballads, or instrumental-masterly impressions.
