General information

The album is a live show from Arenan, Stockholm, Sweden and contains a documentary of the band, the making of the album, deleted scenes, a photo gallery, and seven promotional videos.

Laiho said in an interview with the Finnish music magazine Soundi that he did not want to record the DVD in Finland, because it was going to be an international release, and it would be ridiculous making speeches between the songs in English in the band's homeland Finland. [3] [4]
